Loves Blossoms at Abt!

Thursday, June 7th, 2012

All of us here at Abt Electronics would like to congratulate two of our hard-working employees, Joy J. and Jimmy T. on their recent marriage!  They met each other at this very store seven years ago and have been madly in love ever since.

In celebration, their co-wroker and good friend Rebecca H. gave them a special wedding treat: a wedding cake in the design of an Abt delivery truck-the exact kind of truck Jimmy T. has been driving as a delivery man for years.

Congratulations again to the newlyweds and we all hope they have a long prosperous marriage!

Shoot the Rock at Abt Electronics

Friday, May 25th, 2012

Last night, Abt Electronics hosted their third annual “Shoot the Rock 3-Point Contest”.  Located in the Abt gym a handful of employees tried their hands at who has the most accurate 3-point shot.  Employees entered the competition in hopes of winning a prize as well as sharing a love for basketball and camaraderie.  After several rounds of some excellent shots, the final round came and two were left.

Congratulations to Mike B. and Alan S. for winning the contest’s 1st and second place prizes.  Proceeds from participation were donated to Abt’s For Autistic Kids Foundation.
