If you LIKE the warm camaraderie of the people you work with, and you LOVE peeing in a lazy river...

Monday August 26th.

Please let us know below if you are going to make it to the Rapids water park this year. More details will be coming for those who are going.

And fairly unrelated, the new IRA transfer is almost all worked out. After some research into services offered, LTA has decided not to move our IRA to another brokerage house. We will be staying with the company that we have landed with.

If you haven't already, please follow the instructions of the email that was sent out near the end of July. Hopefully our 2nd quarter deposit will go out some time next week. If you have any questions see me then.

Will you be joining us for this day of aquatic adventures?

An Entire Depot Full of It!

For all those interested in such things, we have a surprise outing scheduled for this Monday! (July 15th)

We’re going to Fun Depot in Lake Worth.

From 1:00 to 4:00 pm we can avail ourselves of all the funs they have to offer.

3 hours of unlimited go carts!

3 hours of unlimited arcade games!

3 hours of unlimited laser tag!

And as an added bonus, if anyone wants to eat before hitting the Depot we are meeting up for an Indian lunch buffet.

12:00 pm at Flavor of India near Fun Depot.

However, before we go I do need to get a head count. So please take a minute to click some of the options below as soon as you can.

You want to come to the Depot?

• 0%Yes. I love fun!
• 0%Sadly no. Let's not make a big deal out of it.

What about lunch at noon?

• 0%Yes! My favorite lunch is a free lunch.
• 0%No thank you. But I did appreciate the offer.

Also, in boring old non-LTA field trip news, the midyear bonuses will be out this week.

While not as much fun as an afternoon of laser tag, I am happy to say that we are able to distribute a historically massive 50% raise in this year's midyear bonus.

Last year the bonus came out to around $2.00 an hour. This year we are able to push it to over $3.00 an hour. This is due to two things.

We have an increase in revenue. The tables are more full this year with people betting more on average. But also this year a larger percentage of profit is being allocated to the mid year profit sharing. In lieu of traditional raises this year we are increasing compensation in other areas such as the midyear profit sharing and an increase in the SEP IRA.

(But team building laser tag is kind of cool too.)

Run Good

2 small things.

1) The Vanguard deposit that was recently put in your IRA is from the last quarter of 2023. It would be the equivalent of 17% of everything you made from October through December, including your profit sharing bonus. The 2023 IRA deposits were supposed to be 15%. But it was a good enough year that we were able to up it a bit.

2) This year’s Rooney 5K is taking place on March 30th. LTA will gladly cover the entry fees of anyone interested in participating. It is a leisurely 5 kilometer run, jog, or walk that ends with a free french toast breakfast and a free beer. The only downside is that it is fairly early in the morning and on a Saturday. 

If you have any interest in taking a morning stroll with some of your coworkers, as well as getting some money to some local charities, please let me know.
