This is no easy task, as it takes commitment, patience and a lot of studying. He’s been studying over 100 questions on US History and government to prepare to be quizzed on just 10 questions. Rene passed with flying red, white and blue and took the oath of allegiance to the United States. Congratulations Rene!

His ‘can do’ attitude and willingness to assist where needed caught the eye of the GM. He soon rose to the rank of manager. After six years of working in all areas at GCB, Bryan was recruited by the accounting dept. Weeks later we shut down due to COVID, at which time, he kept the Oregon properties secure and assisted in the migration to R365. From bowling repairman to accountant & property management it’s been quite the journey. Bryan says his story is just one example of how CEG values employees, providing opportunities for those willing to work hard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5570b2d9e4b086de0c9e359c/5f1c322b-4d76-42b3-a752-6e5830c64a24/baldricks.jpg Q2 2023 Newsletter - Providing Hope For Kids Grand Central Bowl and Thirsty Lion sold 2103 Irish Mules over the St. Patrick’s Day 2023.
