Facility Family Feud
Thanks to the efforts of Harry Cannon, the first ever IFMA Family Feud game show night took place on Febuary 24 at The Rockefeller University. A perfect choice for role of EMCEE/ Moderator was John Lawrence, of Pure Water Tech Metro NY. Many of the attendees remarked that John should consider becoming an EMCEE on a professional level…somewhere.
The Facilities Team consisted of Christian Miller, CFM of YMCA, Bob Cottrell, CFM of Facilities Management Partners, Joy Palevsky of Allsteel, Thomas Arezzi of AHRC, and Annette Vega and Anthony Guerrero of Oxygen Media. The Associates Team consisted of Gary Anzalone of Precision Sign, Ivan Mann of Corporate Essentials Coffee Service, Wendy Pflaum of Benhar Office Interiors, Nadine Cino of Tyga Box, Mark Wasserman of Millenium, and Michele McCambridge of Interstate Mechanical Services.
The answers to the questions that were asked were the results of a survey performed at previous IFMA events. It was a closely contested battle, fraught with suspense. If it were not for the constant trips to the fabulous buffet table (food provided by chapter member Neuman’s Catering), the game would have been decided a bit earlier.
The game started with the Associates domineering over the FM’s in a wide point margin. In the end though, the FM’s pulled out a victory, winning the match on the very last questions asked. Each FM team member walked away with a complimentary ‘Family Feud’ home game, while the Associates were awarded a bottle of ‘Turtle Wax!" All in all, the evening was deemed a success, and fun was had by all.
