&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px"&gt;Join us for a fun opportunity to network, eat and learn! We will be bringing in John McHugh who is the Director of Corporate Communications for Kwik Trip to lead this event.

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-size:16px;"&gt;Purpose and Compassion at Work&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Regardless of your role, what are people, customers and business partners looking for in you? What is the workplace culture you have created with your team that leads to success? Creating a mission driven culture with compassion and trust turns satisfied customers into loyal customers. In addition, if the work we do is tied into a purpose beyond profits our job satisfaction increases substantially and employee turnover is reduced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

His examples and stories are ones that you won&amp;rsquo;t forget.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin:0in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
