Logisolve in Photos (People Make the Party)

By Ben Youtz | Data Transformation Capability Leader By Charlie Belisle – Co-Founder and Data Transformation Capability Leader

Summer is well under way and the Sun, shorts, and flip flops are out. Thank you for those who joined us this week for our annual Logisolve SummerFest event at Surly Brewing. Great food, drinks, and most importantly people. We have another event coming up in just a few months and hope that as many of you can join us as possible. Logisolve’s 25th Anniversary Celebration will be held on Thursday September 28th at The Royal Club in Lake Elmo. You should have already received your invitation in your email to RSVP. If for any reason you have not, please reach out to Amanda Zais (azais@logisolve.com) or anyone of your contacts at Logisolve and we will make sure to resend.

As I reflect on Logisolve’s history, the thing I have enjoyed the most is the opportunity to meet and work with so many talented and positive people. At Logisolve, our culture is very team oriented, focusing on individual’s strengths and providing opportunities to share and cultivate ideas. With this in mind I thought I would share a small photo montage of pictures representing this spirit. As we approach our 25th Anniversary Celebration we will be creating a rolling photo video with the pictures below as well as many more that we will display at the event. If you have any additional photos from previous Logisolve events through the years that you would like to share please send to Amanda Zais (azais@logisolve.com) and we will work to incorporate them into the video. Enjoy the rest of summer!!! We hope to see you at the Logisolve 25th Anniversary Celebration!!!

Flourish Backpack Drive 2023

For the 6th consecutive year, Logisolve is partnering with their non-profit partners by donating new backpacks for students in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood of Minneapolis. We are proud to once again work with Flourish (formerly Ace in the City – https://www.aceinthecity.org/) and The Park Place (https://www.theparkplace-mn.org/) for donating backpacks. Please donate new or unused backpacks (see below for details on backpacks) coupled with a $25 donation that will cover the cost of gift card for school supplies. Alternatively, you can make an online donation by using the QRCode (picture below).

We will be collecting donations now until August 10th.

NEW/UNUSED BACKPACK (no wheels, please!)

  • For younger students (Pre-K—3rd grade):
    • Cartoon or character, Playful designs
  • For older students (4th—12th grade):
    • Quality new backpacks (Jansport, Columbia, Wildkin, etc.—picture what you would want if you were/had a high schooler )

From there, simply place $25 in the backpack!

How to donate a backpack!

  • Because of the various working environments, we will be coordinating individual pick up times and locations rather group collection sites as in the past. Please contact Ron Kimlinger by text (651-503-9133) or email (Ron.Kimlinger@Logisolve.com) to arrange a pick up.
  • Logisolve encourages you to purchase your item(s) at one of our retail-based clients; for example; Best Buy, Target, CVS/Walgreens, etc
  • You can also order backpack online and have them shipped by August 10th to Ron Kimlinger. Please reach out to Ron (email above) for address.
  • If you are shipping back backs online, please also donate online and using the QRCode with the picture below – please let us know if you donate online so we can include you in the Logisolve drawing as well.

 

By donating a backpack or cash donation, your name will be placed in a drawing for a chance to win 1 of 2 $25 gift certificates from Logisolve.
