Yesterday the team spent the morning at a large electronic manufacturing company called Plexus. Plexus builds a range of products ranging from communication and networking to military and medical equipment. Given the “secret” projects being undertaken in regards to military equipment I am unable to make further comments as big brother was given our passport details prior to touring. What was evident was the company’s commitment to improving their procedures and efficiency.

After the morning the team went to “root” for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers who are a local minor league baseball team. The weather held off and the team had a great day at a park. Who would have known there’d be racing cheese buckets, sumo wrestling, a dancing rattle snake mascot and the seventh innings stretch where the crowd sang “take me out to the ballgame”. Just for the record the Rattlers won 7-2 after a haul of 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th. The Rattlers weren’t the only winners on the day as Jeff caught a flying t-shirt, Allen caught a frisbee and I won a baseball. It seemed the only thing we didn’t win was one of the flying bratwursts that were shot 20 metres into the air from a  cannon called the bratszooka.

In the evening we gathered with our hosts at the Whiting Boathouse for a soup bonanza with members from the RC of Neenah and guests. There were 8 soups to sample and a number of delicious salads and desserts. Many thanks to the generous members who helped to cater for the event.
