IMLPs Go Bowling for a Good Cause

This past weekend, IMLPs, GE employees, friends, and family teamed up with Junior Achievement of Connecticut for an afternoon of bowling to benefit young adults in need.  Junior Achievement is a favorite charitable organization of IMLPs in Connecticut because of its level involvement within the community and its proven impact.  JA as we’ve come to know it, works hard to prepare young people to succeed in a global economy through a hands-on program that teaches workforce readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship.  Like the IMLP program in GE, JA trains people hard, teaching them important life skills and imbuing them with life-long knowledge, pushing them to become the leaders of tomorrow. 

So, in the spirit of giving back, the GE volunteers bowled the afternoon away while raising money for the JA cause.  As an added bonus to hitting the lanes for such a worthy cause, IMLPs from all over Connecticut and from across GE Capital and GE Corporate met up, many for the first time since their last bootcamp experiences, allowing us all to catch up, share experiences, and reminisce.  Somehow, despite the fact that we all were pretty pathetic at bowling, it really ended up being a great time.  It’s always a good feeling to give back to the community and in the IMLP program it’s easier than ever to help out… especially when you get to have such a great time in the process.
