With my colleagues at SunPower
This was my second year participating in this event. I was impressed with last year's learning sessions so I registered once again. This time there were more participants from SunPower. I called this our "Admin Day." This is the first time that all administrative staff went out together. Thanks to my boss, Jascha Ortmanns for allowing us to attend such a great summit.
A buffet lunch was served for all us. Food was great
An entertaining dance from the Muntinlupa Dance Group
