Sharon Powell, Welcome Wagon Saskatchewan regional manager, came to the Battlefords recently to present Darren Buziak, owner of Humpty’s restaurant, with a plaque for 20 years service.
Buziak was working at the restaurant when, on Feb. 5, 1996, owner Terry Osatchoff signed the Welcome Wagon contract to provide newcomers with a gift to come into the restaurant. Buziak took over ownership soon after.
His commitment and enthusiasm for his business is evident, as he takes only two weeks off a year and has a high rate of staff retention. The restaurant recently underwent a renovation, too.
The Welcome Wagon organization began in 1930. The organization also heralds the birth of new babies and those getting married. Welcome Wagon appreciates the local businesses that provide sponsorship as do the newcomers and new moms in the Battlefords.
Those seeking information or wanting to let the organization know of new arrivals to the Battlefords can contact local representative Jackie Pitman at 306-490-8140 or visit www.welcomewagon.ca. Remember you can make a new employee's day by contacting the Welcome Wagon.
