third-floor deck
On Friday, June 12th, Zone 5 was joined by clients, friends, family and even a former New York state gubernatorial candidate at our 20th anniversary cookout, bringing together two things we do so well at Zone 5 - showing appreciation and food.
The weather brightened up on what started out as a gloomy day. The clouds parted and opened up the sky for the sun to peer through on a great tribute to 20 years of hard work and creativity. Guests enjoyed a menu prepared by Zone 5ers that included marinated pork, rack of lamb, mahi mahi and saffron shrimp wrapped in bacon, along with other cookout favorites such as hot dogs and salads.
Since the addition of our third-floor deck, summers at Zone 5 have witnessed client and employee appreciation cookouts roughly every other week. Would you like to join us? Contact your favorite Zone 5 staffer for an invitation.
Can you help give our rubber tree plant a name? We've got high hopes...
Rescued from a dark corner of a dimly-lit second-floor office, "Plant" has found new life outdoors breathing the fine air of downtown Albany. Rubber tree plants, although more common in tropical climates, are almost as hard to kill as plastic plants, but this baby was on its way to bio degradation until the Zone 5 production team gave it a "new leaf on life" in the open air of our third-floor deck.
Now that this 8-foot addition to our outdoor ambiance has shirked it's fate at the plant pound (the big green dumpster), it has become a sentimental member of the Zone 5 family. Since we are still a small enough firm to operate on a first-name basis, we wanted to be able to speak of said plant in a more creative way – with his/her own, simple, more personal name.
Although a creative firm by trade, our initial attempts at naming our ginormous seedling fell flat. Those efforts included:
Mr. RT (for Rubber Tree)
Plantasia
Botanical Bob
Rubbie
Big Green Thing
LarMillie
Since we haven't been able to decide on appropriate alias for our deck buddy, we are opening it up to our fans, friends, clients and long distance relatives. Successfully naming our rubber tree plant has its rewards! Winner will receive:
A Snuggie Blanket - the Blanket with Sleeves!
2 Movie Passes
Guest of Honor Status at one of our cookouts or International Wednesdays (local winners only)
A clipping of your named plant to start your own Jr. version at home
