‘Carmania’ at Grand Lido Braco

Miss Baugh emerged as winner from a select group of eleven managers who also qualified to enter the car draw. Before the winner could be chosen, each of the managers selected had to choose a fortune cookie in which specific instructions were written.

Eleven balloons, each containing a car key was tied to the back of the participants’ chairs. The tension grew as each participant took his/her turn in fitting the key from the balloons into the car. Members of the audience were at the edge of their seats waiting with bated breath for that special moment. After a nail biting half hour later, the audience erupted into a thundering applause when Velicea was successful on her first attempt with the car key. Amidst much fanfare and excitement he was congratulated by Dr. Errol Holmes, Vice President of Human Resources an Anil Sud, General Manager of Grand Lido Braco.
