AMS Vans Boasts New Lake Front Property

posted on Aug 27 by in the AMS News, Disability News, Fun category

Some days something enchanting happens that makes the world just that much more magical when you arrive at your place of employment, and today was certainly one of those days. After waking up and going through our morning routines to show up for another fantastic day at work, all of the AMS Vans employees arrived at the office with an unexpected barrier in front of the building. We had acquired new lakefront property overnight!

We can say that it resembled this beauteous park setting with a gravel walkway…

…in front of a calm lake with frogs singing…

…and water lapping at the shore…

but then we realized that something was different… something was wrong.  This wasn’t a newfound lake or the fountain of youth that had sprung overnight…

For those pictures were the work of our extremely talented graphic artist and photographer…

And it was really the road in front of our parking lot…

And part of our parking lot itself!

Our new little paradise was something we certainly did not expect, and Jill wandered away with Chris to test how the waters were for fishing.

News crews arrived to film the momentous occasion…

While construction crews looked on with wonder after arriving earlier this week to fix mysterious sink holes that appeared near us.

As Jill spotted some trout in the lake.

We learned what caused our momentous day, and Matt was even on television talking about it. (view below)  Apparently the construction crew didn’t create a way for the storm water to drain while fixing our sink holes.

Otherwise, life is almost back to normal again on our plateau.  The water has been pumped out, the roads are clear, and now we just have to see if the crew will still be on schedule to have the sink hole fixed by Monday.  Regardless, we welcome customers and have plenty of room to park on the side parking lot. :)

And for those of us who currently have vans there being converted, they are all safe and sound and have not been flooded…..we are assuming???

Sorry for the delayed response, I manage the blog and was on vacation all of last week! Don”t worry about your vehicle being in a flood – absolutely nothing was affected. We are located on a hill above where the flooding occurred. :)
