TUESDAY
Every year, we turn to Trey, our Deputy Assistant Culture Advocate, to lead a creative team-building event and he never disappoints! Trey’s challenge: a Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament. The stakes? Raffle tickets toward some amazing prizes. Safe to say, our competitive spirit was in full swing!
