Toys for inspiration

In the upper level of the PureFUN! Inc. building you can find THOUSANDS of toys.

It is rather exciting...

PureFUN! contributes to Toys for Tots by storing the toys that came in too late for the previous holiday season so they can be given out during the next. There are huge boxes of toys all over the place! ...some really nice bikes too. To me, nothing is more exhilarating than a brisk and refreshing bike ride. Riding down a big hill with the wind all in your face, hair and eyes is the epitome of freedom and youth. ...even if the every-once-in-a-while bug happens to hit you in the face.

Seeing all of the totally radical bicycles just waiting to be given to little ones makes me giddy.

There are 50 pallets of toys up there, which is about 50,000 toys.

PureFUN! loves kids. Todd, the owner of PureFUN!, does all he can do to help kids in everyway...storing toys here is a simple example of that.

It is inspiring.

Staff Profile: Jerry Weiden

If you are lucky enough to own a house of your own, do you remember how exciting it was to buy your first brand new home? One that you could actually call your own? Well, above is a picture of PureFUN! employee Jerry Weiden’s very first home! It is beautiful isn’t it? If anyone deserves it, it is Jerry. Jerry Weiden has been the ever so loyal I.T. manager for PureFUN! for six years now. Jerry is one of the most unique and kind people that I have ever met. I think that I know Jerry well enough to say that his main ambition is to help people out. Even if it is something simple to help them have a better day, like bringing two orange starbursts to their desk because that is their favorite flavor (which he happened to do to me today). I am sure you are thinking that everyone wants to help people out, but Jerry is different than your average wanna-help-out person. He takes it to a new level. Jerry is very smart and knows how things work. He could probably fix any machine problem we could ever have at PureFUN! He uses his handy man skills to help the people around him. I need Jerry’s help all the time! I am sure that everyone in the building could make that statement too. Jerry always helps with joy. You can tell that he is not helping you because you need him to…he is helping you because he wants to. He would have done it without even being asked! Todd, the owner of our business, and all of us agree that Jerry is irreplaceable.

The heavenly blueberry muffins and brownies that his mom bakes for all of us to enjoy are a plus too!

This is Jerry and his dad. Jerry’s dad is an expert Porsche mechanic. This must be where Jerry got his exquisite ability of working with his hands.

We love Jerry, he makes PureFUN! way BETTER for everyone!

More Plates Please!

So Jeff Thomas, our amazing Purchasing Manager, has an office that is right across from my desk with a big window. Imagine three business men dressed in really nice business man clothes...with their serious and stern "down to business" faces and voices on...sitting around a desk...bending and playing with all of these little foam plates with their big man hands trying to figure out which one is the best. If I did not do too good of a job describing it, just know, it is a very funny sight. Three business men sitting around talking about the logistics of foam plates is just funny. I keep on hearing murmurs of things like "weight of mashes potatoes" and "weight of sandwiches."

Jeff is doing all he can do to make sure we are selling the best quality plates we can get to our customers!

Another reason PureFUN! is Better for Kids and Better for You

Aren't they cute?

Eric Barnes and Josh Fowler, two of our warehouse workers, brave the 20 degree weather today.

Despite this frightful weather they are getting your products to you with a smile on their face and a jump in their step!

They warm up the warehouse with the love in their hearts!

aw.
