Recently, Harkins employee-owners and their families gathered at Smokey Glen Farm Barbequers in Gaithersburg, MD, for our Annual Company Picnic! The event was a fun-filled day with plenty of delicious BBQ, face painting, mini golf, a bounce house, cornhole, playground activities, a cotton candy station, and the all-time favorite money wheel. We also held an awards ceremony to recognize some outstanding achievements. During the picnic, we honored employee-owners celebrating major career milestones with service awards. In addition, our Ad Hoc Committee presented two special awards, both nominated entirely by fellow employee-owners. Employee Development Manager Bonnie Cronin was presented the Blase Cooke Award, and Preconstruction Manager Adam Healey was presented the Thomas P.
