The True Power of our Thoughts - Sisouphanh Sihachak

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions”
— Albert Einstein
Thoughts create everything. From the dream house you always wanted to purchase, the new car you wanted to buy, the success of personal relationships, or the way the sunset paints the sky in an explosion of endless colors. This is a simple concept. However, most people will never be able to fathom the simplicity. Our physical world and everything in it is made out of atoms. Those atoms are made out of pure energy. Energy is made out of consciousness. As a result, your thoughts will dictate what becomes reality. Let us think about it in this sense, when we buy our dream house, we first had to have thoughts about buying it. When we purchase a new vehicle, we first had to have thoughts about purchasing that vehicle. The direction of any personal relationship depends on your thoughts about the other person. The perception of a sunset is simply the visualization of energy, and again….energy comes from consciousness. With the understanding of this concept, anyone, anywhere has the power within themselves to create their personal reality. Grasping and accepting this may be difficult. On the other hand, imagine what it must have seemed like to the people of Galileo’s time to comprehend that the Earth revolves around a ball of pure fusion energy we call the sun. With that in mind, when we truly believe that our thoughts are the force of creation, we can begin to create. If you keep thinking about the things that you want, they will materialize within a proper time limit. However, this concept also works both ways, if you keep thinking about everything that you don't want….that which you don’t want will also materialize. Listen very carefully to your thoughts and figure out which ones are dominant. As a result, you can replace the “don’t wants” with “wants”. This may sound absurd, however if I told you a decade ago that a device called a “smart phone” would enable any human access to the world’s knowledge, you would not think twice about dismissing that idea. The evolution of humanity is more than just physical creations and inventions. We are constantly looking for answers to understand this world, the source of our reality, creation, and the creator. They say the best place to hide something is right in front of your face. With that said, the most complex questions will have the simplest answers. You have the power within you to manifest reality……..Still don’t believe? Give it a Thought….

Hello to everyone who reads this awesome newsletter! EAC really enjoys the feed back we get from our work family. It's nice to know that the time and work we put towards the newsletter doesn't go unnoticed. Eac has a small group that makes this all possible. If you would like to join us or just want to lend a hand, speak to any of our EAC members. We would be glad to have you on our team or just your input. If you do not know who EAC is, we are the committee who organizes the events like Softball, Cornhole, Taste of Sea Ray/ Meridian, Winter Banquet, and many other event that the employees would like to have. Sea Ray/ Meridian Palm Coast facility is lucky that Management provides us with the means to make all this possible, so let's take full advantage of it and have some successful events!
EAC would like to welcome and thank Denise Woodward and Luigi Battaglia for stepping up and joining the Employee Activities Committee.

EAC would like to thank all the employees who participated in the Annual Sea Ray/ Meridian Softball Tournament that was played on Saturday, June 13, 2015. Games started at 8:00am with Get ‘Emmm (Captain Cory Soard) and Murderer’s Row (Captain Brian Lenihan) on field 7, while Fab U Loss (Captain Adam Barksdale) and Little Rascals (Captain Nick Michaels) played on field 8. After the adrenalin started the Hit Squad (Captain Marcus Butts) jumped in with the 9:30am start. It was extremely hot outside for spectators and players, but they kept the games going. The New York Hot Dog husband and wife team sold their hot dogs, while Sandy made a cameo appearance with her Ice Cream Truck.
After eight games, the final results were: Murderer’s Row took first place, Get ’Emmm took second place and Fab U Loss took third place. Our Engineering department also donated a plaque for the Kris Brooks MVP Player, which was awarded to Glen Gynizio by Kris’s wife and child.

PALM COAST EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM

Did you know Palm coast has an additional Employee Recognition Program? In the past we have only had the PACE Program, which awarded employees for Team Member of the Month (TMOM), Suggestion of the Month (SOM) and Safety Suggestion of the Month (SSOM). You must have a PACE Point or Team Point to be nominated for TMOM. The Employee Recognition Program is intended to reward employees for achievements that are above and beyond the scope of their usual responsibilities. This would especially refer to situations where an employee, with little or no prompting, has dedicated their talents or efforts toward the good of the Company. Here are our latest team members who received awards:
Richard "Al" Lane - Dept 1704
In light of the fact that staffing is short in QA, with new people and products, including being absent of SQS person, Al is dong well in trying to keep up with supplier quality issues, documentation, and notifications. He is also leading the QA daily task and will do what is asked with a can do attitude. Awarded $50.00 Visa gift card
Travis McCaslin - Dept 1387
Travis is fairly new and has been a huge help in training new team members coming onboard . He has trained three new team members in the last couple of months. Awarded $25.00 Visa gift card
Thank you for all you do!

Chairman’s Safety Award - Chuck Johnson

Congratulations to all our employees for winning the Chairman’s Safety Award from Brunswick Corporation.
Palm Coast was one of only six facilities around the world to earn this recognition for its safety record and performance in 2014. It also marks the sixth time the Palm Coast facility has garnered this award since it was initiated in 2008, most among any Brunswick facility worldwide.
Our Safety Dept. put together a charity committee to submit and review local non-profit charities. The committee had chosen to award the $10,000 to Vitas Community Connection of Daytona Beach, Florida, which helps local hospice patients and their families.
Palm Coast Safety Dept. also put together a prize committee to choose the prizes. We hope everyone enjoys their beach umbrella and beach blanket.

Organizational Announcements

Director Manufacturing Operations Palm Coast (Letter released in April)

It is with great pleasure that I announce Dan Robinson as the Director of Manufacturing Operations for the Palm Coast facility. Dan will report directly to me and has relocate to the Palm Coast location. For the past few years, Dan has managed a variety of very complex and meaningful projects for PD&E and has helped establish discipline and structure around the design and engineering of our products. Dan is incredibly organized and understands the challenges associated with the manufacture of our boats. This is a great fit and timely addition to the Palm Coast team.
As the Director of Manufacturing Operations, Dan will be responsible for all facets of our manufacturing process in addition to Materials, Maintenance and Health & Safety. Reporting to Dan will be Joel Cox (L-Class Manager), Ed Lamb (Assembly Manager), Allen Bertha (Fabrication Manager), Randy Serfozo (Lamination Manager), Craig Wall (Materials Manager), Kevin Kelley (Maintenance Supervisor), and Cornelius Friendly (EH&S Specialist). Dan will focus initially on stabilizing our assembly operations and delivering industry leading products from our new L-Class assembly line. He will then move into broader elements off the manufacturing process and systematically work to redefine our management systems.
Please join me in congratulating Dan and wishing him well as he begins to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. The success of this role will require strong support from the entire team, and I want to thank you in advance for your commitment as we drive to the finish line and deliver the results that we have
