MONDAY DAILY

WHY DO THESE LADIES LOOK SO HAPPY?   THEY EITHER ARE ENJOYING
OR HAVE JUST ENJOYED A DELICIOUS  BELGIUM WAFFLE BREAKFAST YESTERDAY MORNING AT BOYER HALL ON THE FAIRGROUNDS IN MAQUOKETA, SPONSORED BY HELION LODGE #36 A.F. & A.M.    BLUEBERRY,
CHERRY OR STRAWBERRY TOPPINGS.     I PUT ON ALL 3.

TWO PROMOTIONS AT McDONALDS IN MAQUOKETA.    DANIEL NEWMAN, AN EMPLOYEE FOR 16 YEARS HAS WORKED THERE SINCE HE WAS 15.    THEY HAVE DEPARTMENT MANAGERS AND HE WAS NAMED A DEPARTMENT MANAGER WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL.    HE RECENTLY WAS NAMED MANAGER OF THE RESTAURANT, A POSITION HELD BY SUE FECKER SINCE 1991.    SUE ACTUALLY BEGAN AS A BISCUIT MAKER WHEN THE STORE OPENED 29 YEARS AGO. 
SHE HAS BEEN PROMOTED TO AREA SUPERVISOR AND IS NOW THE SUPERVISOR FOR THE McDONALDS IN GALENA AND MORRISON  AND THE MAQUOKETA STORE.    SHE WILL BE ON THE ROAD EACH WEEK VISITING GALENA AND MORRISON BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE HER IN MAQUOKETA.    SUE LIVED IN MAQUOKETA FOR MANY YEARS, BUT NOW LIVES IN ANDREW.   SHE HAS 4 CHILDREN (ALL WORKED IN  THE RETAURANT) AND 5 GRANDCHILDREN.   DANIEL IS NOT MARRIED AND LIVES IN MAQUOKETA.
DANIEL IS MANAGER OF 35 EMPLOYEES.   SUE HAS INTERVIEWED AND HIRED
THOUSANDS OF WORKERS OVER THE YEARS, MANY GETTING THEIR FIRST
JOB THERE.    THE AVERAGE STAY AT A McDONALDS IS 6 MONTHS, BUT
THE MAQUOKETA RETAURANT HAS MANY THAT HAVE WORKED THERE A
LONG TIME.   THE MAQUOKETA STORE IS ONE OF 10 OWNED BY GLENN
KARPINSKI OF GALENA AND LOIS KARPINSKI OF EAST DUBUQUE.  
I ASKED WHAT THEIR FAVORITE ITEM ON THE COLORFUL MENU BOARD
IS.      DANIEL SAID A CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH AND  SUE, ONE OF THEIR TWO POPULAR SALADS.     CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PROMOTIONS,
TO SUE AND DANIEL, UNDER THE GOLDEN ARCH.
