Sunpower Summer BBQ and Concert Rocks with Greg's song number "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"

With my boss, Gregory Reichow ~ Vice President for Sunpower Operations (Middle) with the Sunpower employees at the Registration Area

Every year, Sunpower Philippines Mfg. Ltd. holds a summer activity for all Sunpower employees.  This year it was a Summer BBQ and Concert held at De La Salle Canlubang School baseball field near Cell Fab 1.  It was a two-day event since we have to split the employees due to our population. Over the years, we have grown to around 5,000 employees in the Philippines. Our company decided to do the Summer BBQ because this activity is very close to Greg's heart and it will be great to have this before he moves back to the U.S.   Seven (7) years ago when Greg was still a Managing Director at our first cell fab in Laguna Technopark, he would ask our HR Department to organize a Barbeque Get Together with all employees.  Greg and the rest of his managers would cook the BBQ and serve it to all employees at that time.  We were still around 200 employees at that time.
