On June 29, 2008, the employees of CTI and their families were treated to a special all day event at Rye Playland in Rye, NY. The famous amusement park in the Westchester area was the perfect venue for a company-wide gathering, as well as a perfect opportunity for employees to show off the new additions to their family. (Several CTI employees had babies since the previous company picnic last year.)
The theme of this year’s picnic was “CTI Safari to Rye Playland,” so the private pavilion reserved for CTI employees was generously adorned with many colorful parrots and butterflies, as well as several monkeys, a few gorillas, an elephant and a tiger or two. The tables were filled with safari related toys and games for the children, and several fake ice cream cones were put on the floor for guests to find. Several lucky guests who actually picked up the fake ice cream noticed a piece of paper on the back that told them they were winners of a special door prize. Five different prizes were given away during the first ten minutes of the party.
