Join Us In Welcoming Joanne to Our Sales Team

Yes, the gossip is true! We have hired a female sales person at West Park, Joanne Lamy. Joanne refers to herself as, “A truck girl! My most favourite vehicle I've ever owned is my GM truck. I use it to pull my toys- sleds, quads and our 5th wheel... I actually come from a GM truck family. When we have a family gathering, there are about 8 GM trucks lined up in a row on the farm. It looks pretty cool!” Joanne does admit though, to thoughts of owning an SUV, “I think I'd like to own a Traverse. It would be nice sometimes for all the things you take with you when traveling with kids.” An obvious highlight for Joanne in the short time she has worked at West Park is her 3 deliveries in 2 weeks. Another highlight happened at her training session in Winnipeg last week. Joanne was the only one out of 40 people who got to sit in the all new 2011 Camaro Convertible. I asked her what she was looking forward to about working in sales at West Park. Joanne didn't have to think about her answer for even a moment, “I look forward to when Jer allows me to go for a Corvette drive... but I don't think I'm quite there yet!” I don't know, Joanne, maybe in this case you have to sell one to drive one, rather than drive one to sell one!

Meet Elaine in Our Service Department

This post is long overdue. We definitely have not forgotten to introduce Elaine to you, but because she works part time, our photographer has had a tough time capturing her smile on camera. Elaine began at West Park in 1980 as our receptionist when all accounting and book keeping was done manually and warranty was submitted using a Telex machine. She then moved to the cashier position and now she works in our service department part-time, where everything is fully computerized. When Elaine's not at work she is busy enjoying being a grandma! She said some highlights while at West Park have been the staff get-togethers, including bowling, baseball, golfing and the Goldeyes game. Elaine's favourite GM is the blue, 1967 Chevelle that Melvin used to own. It was their dating car. Now she really likes the Camaro. “I like it because it looks good, would be great for cruising, but not because it goes fast!” We don't know if the last part of her comment was because Melvin has possibly exceed her comfort level in a fast car?? For now Elaine is happy to be driving her Rendezvous. “I like it because it drives nice and it's spacious and reliable.”
