Sundance Vacations is moving up on the information super highway ladder. Sundance Vacations IT Staff have been working on creating a companywide Intranet. The brand new Intranet is powered by Joomla!. The company Intranet will provide a mainstream way for all employees to receive company information. Joomla! offers many great tools to allow Sundance Vacations to find out what their employees like or dislike. Users will have the option to view breaking news on the front page, to downloading time off request forms. Employees will now be able to access and view handbooks and other useful company information. Joomla! will provide a companywide calander as well as a Permission Marketing Calander. These calanders will provide important dates and allow employees to see what events Sundance Vacations will appear at. Stay tuned as Joomla! is still in its infancy stage. Details will be provided once the site becomes available for employees.

Do you have any ideas for the new Joomla! Intranet? What would you like to see?

I just wanted to say have a safe and happy Memorial Day to everyone.

Say a prayer for all the soldiers still fighting for our freedom.                                                                                                   

I Stand Before You

I stand before you all today

But not one eye can see my way

My time arrived, to leave this earth

A fact so planned, to every birth

It happened where I had to go

My torch for life was so aglow

I transferred while in uniform

Protecting freedom, through a storm

Should I resent I died for you

Not on my life, red white and blue

Please help my family through each day

Tell all my friends, try not to stray

And of the country I did love

Do think of me, through God above

Your memories, brought forth this day

Send love to us, who could not stay

I just want to say congratulations to Sarah Jarvie and her family on the birth of their new baby girl, Bailey.  Sarah’s first born arrived at 3:17 p.m., on Sunday afternoon, April 22, 2007.  The little bundle of joy weighed in at 5 lbs. 10 ounces and measured 19 ¼ inches long. 

Sarah works at the Sundance Vacations office in Princeton, NJ.  Though her title is “receptionist” she helps with many other duties as well.  I already miss her very much and so does the entire Princeton office staff.  The manager of the Princeton office, Ed Coppinger, feels so lost without her that he calls her a few times a day, just to say hello (and sometimes ask her where something is!).   Once again Congratulations, Sarah!  I am so happy for you and I can’t wait to see some pictures.
