It’s Time to Unwind
Life is about balance. We all must take time to rest, relax, and recharge. These moments will re-energize the mind, body & soul!
Amanda Lilly, Tax Manager, had quite the winter journey at Elk Lake Resort in Bend, OR. This resort is only accessible in the winter by skis, snowmobile, or the lodge’s suburban with cat tracks. Amanda completed an 11-mile cross-country voyage in 4-hours. What a thrilling experience!
The season of Spring. The flowers are blooming, the BBQ covers are coming off, the pools are reopening, and picnic baskets are being packed. It’s a great season to enjoy the outdoors and that’s exactly what we did.
Lohman Company held our company/family picnic this past May. We had a great time gathering outside the office, sharing stories, playing games, and creating laughter.
Lohman Company believes in engaging with our local community to bring a positive, measurable change to our neighborhoods, where we work, and where we live. How have we been involved?
