Company conducts appreciation barbecue

On June 14 Advance Physical Therapy showed their appreciation for their employees by hosting a company barbeque held at South Park in Quincy. In attendance were employees and their families from the eight clinics. There were games for kids as well as adults. Some of the activities included an inflated jumping house and inflated gladiator platform as well as bean bag games and even a small game of baseball.
Each family brought a covered dish and the meat was provided by Advance Physical Therapy. Eric Ley and Todd Waterkotte cooked over the hot grills to prepare the chicken and hamburgers. At the conclusion of the meal the kids were able to grab a toy of their choice from a table which included things like water guns, frog aquariums, pompoms, card games, diaries, coloring books, stuffed animals and other toys, while the employees played a game of memory for a chance at some bigger prizes. Employees won gifts such as a 27-inch Visio Flatscreen TV, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Ipods, TomToms, gas grill, coffee maker/grinder, tool set, blender, gift certificates for dinner and gift cards to Wal-Mart.
Advance Physical Therapy has four clinics in Illinois: Carthage, Manteno, and two in Quincy, three in Missouri: Hannibal, Troy and Canton, and one in Keokuk, Iowa.
