SEI Design Group BlogBlog about news, information, happenings and mojo at SEI Design Group

At SEI Design Group, we recently celebrated our 5 Year Anniversary!  We had different staff activities during the day and a wonderful dinner at La Luna.

We hope you will welcome:

Brenna Uline, Office Manager

Alney Tobias, Intern

It looks like it is time for another SEI contest.  This time, the prize will be another flying monkey, but with a twist. Our latest pet has a parachute to help with the landing, but it appears from the video below that more is needed. To enter the contest, make your own version of an SEI landing pad for the monkey to help cushion his fall.  Email a digital photo of your entry.

Winner will get a new addition to their family: a flying monkey complete with parachute! This contest is open to all including SEI staff and families.  You can also leave a comment here to “name the monkey”.  While there will not be a parachute involved, the winner of the naming contest will also win a prize.

Celebrating the expansion upstairs in Rochester with happy smiles for those moving out of cramped  quarters.

Congratulations to Lansingburgh CSD on their $18.5M project bond vote, approved by district voters on December 7, 2010.  The scope of work involves high school athletic field upgrades, including an artificial turf football field, instructional technology improvements, and infrastructure improvements.

Jimmi and Karin welcomed Eli James Van Schaffel to their family on October 7, 2010.  Eli, turned out to be quite the bruiser, weighing in at 11 pounds 6 ounces.   We are not sure that “little” is the right adjective for a shirt that Eli is wearing! 

Congrats to Jimmi, Karin, and “big” sister Leiana.

The Albany office threw a shower for Laura in advance of her upcoming wedding.  Looks like a good time was had by all, and the decorations were very well coordinated!

They survived their arrival at SEI, a mojo shower, a wedding and a honeymoon, and they are still eating chocolate.  Officially presenting Mr. and Mrs. Wobser.  Congrats to Kiel and Kelly!!!!
