Law Offices of John C. Manoog III teams up with Friendly’s and Barnstable PD to give children the scoop on Halloween safety

HYANNIS, MA…

As a teenager working at Friendly’s, John Manoog saw firsthand the power an ice cream had in influencing children’s behavior—transforming sad, cranky or glum faces to smiles. Now a personal injury attorney, Manoog is hoping a free ice cream cone can be just as effective in getting across the safety message this Halloween season. To that end, the Law Offices of John C. Manoog III have joined forces with Friendly’s and the Barnstable Police Department on a Safety First campaign targeting Halloween season.

Starting October 29, the first 250 children to visit Friendly’s on Route 132 in Barnstable will receive a round soft touch LED key ring and a coupon for a free ice cream cone. The LED lights feature a “Safety First” message and offer two settings—blinking and continuous light—for improved visibility.

“With it getting darker earlier, it can be difficult to see pedestrians and bikers of any age,” said Manoog, whose firm has offices at 450 Sea Street in Hyannis and 18 Main Street in Plymouth. “These lights, coupled with a free ice cream cone, are kind of a fun way to get the safety message across to kids during Halloween and the rest of the year.”

“We would like to thank Attorney Manoog for his generous donation of the key light rings and helping to spread the safety message,” said Anna Griswold, Friendly’s District Sales Manager. “It was fun to learn that John worked at Friendly’s and it’s nice to see that a former Friendly’s employee has not forgotten his roots.”

About The Law Offices of John C. Manoog III 

The attorneys at The Law Offices of John C. Manoog III specialize in helping clients  recover their losses in all types of personal injury cases including automobile accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, dog bites, wrongful death, product liability, construction site accidents, as well as obtaining the benefits needed in workers compensation cases.

Money in the tank. Sullivan Brothers Toyota announces $10,000 cash giveaway for test drives in October.

KINGSTON, MA

Your parents may have told you there was no such thing as a free ride—even a test drive at an automobile dealership will cost you something, right? Well, Sullivan Brothers Toyota’s latest promotion is about to prove Mom and Dad wrong and then some, giving away $10,000 in cash to people who test drive any automobile at the dealership until October 27.

“We realize the sizable investment buying a new automobile is, especially these days, and we wanted to do something to say thank you,” said John Sullivan, who founded the Sullivan Brothers dealerships with brothers Quin and Brian in Kingston in 1986.  “Offering test drivers a chance to win up to $5,000 in cash is not only a nice way to show our appreciation, but with the holiday soon coming, it can make a real difference in somebody’s life—a mortgage payment, groceries, even a down payment for replacing an old car.”

Any licensed driver 18 years of age or older can participate in the giveaway by coming down to Sullivan Brothers Toyota, located at exit 8 off Route 3, and filling out an entry form prior to taking a test drive. Then, on Saturday, October 27 at 1pm, Sullivan Brothers will draw three names for cash awards of $5,000, $3,000 and $1000.  The remaining $1,000 of the giveaway will be put into a “blizzard of cash” machine. Names will be drawn and each contestant selected will have 30 seconds in the money machine to grab as much cash as they can.

“More winners mean more people leave with a smile on their face,” said Sullivan.

Contestants can register to win right up until 1pm on October 27th.  Cat Country Radio (WCTK, 98.1 FM) will be at the dealership that day at 1pm to draw the winners.  Winners will be chosen at random from registrations. You must be present on October 27 to participate and to win.

Sullivan Brothers Toyota is located at 5 Cranberry Road, Kingston MA.  781-585-1300 or online at www.SullivanBrothersToyota.com.

Plymouth Turkey Trot partners with my TEAM TRIUMPH – Cape Cod for Thanksgiving Day road race in America’s hometown

Plymouth's Memorial Park
The Plymouth Turkey Trot Road Race will start at Plymouth’s Memorial Park.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

How do you determine the success of a road race? Is it profit? Number of runners and/or sponsors? For organizers of the first ever Plymouth Turkey Trot, they are already considering the race a triumph even before a runner has crossed the start line thanks to its recent partnership with myTEAM TRIUMPH – Cape Cod, a 501(c)3 Charity.

myTEAM TRIUMPH (mTT) is an athletic ride-along program created for children, teens, adults and veterans with disabilities who would normally not be able to experience endurance events such as triathlons or road races. myTEAM Triumph provides all the equipment needed to allow these individuals to participate, including boats and harnesses for the swim, trailers for the bike and chairs for the run. The Plymouth Turkey Trot, a 4.77 mile run on Thanksgiving morning in Plymouth, Mass., has announced it will waive the $20 entry fee for all myTeam Triumph participants.

“What runner has not seen the legendary Dick and Rick Hoyt and not been inspired by father pushing son mile after mile?” said Steve Dubin, spokesman for Plymouth Turkey Trot. “We’re delighted to partner with myTEAM TRIUMPH of Cape Cod, an organization that was created because of the inspiration of the Hoyts, and help make that experience possible for others.”

The participants with disabilities are known as “Captains,” and the athletes who have the honor of pushing and pulling the Captains on the course are called their “Angels.” mTT helps these competitors to participate in following events:

  • Triathlons
  • 10Ks
  • 5Ks
  • Marathons
  • Half Marathons

“We can’t thank Plymouth Turkey Trot enough for providing us this opportunity,” said Marry Liz Nogueras, Executive Director of myTEAM TRIUMPH – Cape Cod. “Thanksgiving road races have become a new holiday tradition and we’re quite grateful to give our Captains and Angels the chance to participate in the newest Thanksgiving Day road race in America’s hometown.”

The Plymouth Turkey Trot starts at Memorial Park on the Waterfront at Plymouth Rock at 7:30am. The 4.77 mile course offers scenic views of the Plymouth’s picturesque oceanfront, and passes several historical sites including Plymouth Rock, Burial Hill and The Mayflower. The cost to register is $20 before November 1. Prizes will be awarded to men’s and women’s winners in several age groups.

Those include the Plymouth Turkey Trot’s sister race, the third annual Thanksgiving Day Pilgrim 5k on Thanksgiving morning, the Turkey Chase for Charity and America’s Hometown’s Thanksgiving Race the latter two taking place during the weekend prior to Thanksgiving.

The third annual Thanksgiving Day Pilgrim 5k kicks off from the Village Racquet and Fitness Center, at Pine Hills, 30 Gold Drive, Plymouth at 9:30 a.m. rain or shine on Thanksgiving morning. The course includes the oldest road in America, Old Sandwich Road. This race site was the original trail used by Pilgrims and Native Americans in the 1600’s as they traveled from Plymouth to Sandwich, Mass. Cost is $20 online until November 1.

All participants will receive a custom finishers’ medal.  T-Shirts, designed by professional graphic artists, will be given to all 1,000 runners.

New Franchise Operations Performance Summit (OPS), the only franchise executive conference dedicated to operations performance excellence, announced for Dec. 4-5 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Bob Gappa of Management 2000 will be a keynote speaker at Franchise OPS, December 4-5, in Atlanta, GA.

WOBURN, MA and ATLANTA, GEORGIA…

The influence of new technologies like handheld devices and social media has had a staggering effect on business and, for that matter, our everyday lives for the better part of the last decade. Yet in the franchise industry, franchisors have been relatively slow in employing these technologies to improve operations, particularly with regard to the role of the Franchise Consultant. That’s one of many topics to be addressed at Franchise Operations Performance Summit (OPS), set for December 4-5 in Atlanta, Georgia.

“Technology and new applications have dramatically improved how franchisors work and communicate with franchisees. In terms of franchise operations, however, we’ve only scratched the surface,” said Evan Hackel, founder of Ingage Consulting and one of the keynote speakers for the December Franchise OPS, to be held at the Centennial Hotel in downtown Atlanta. “We covered some Web 2.0 technology applications in previous OPS sessions. The Atlanta OPS will specifically target how modern technology can greatly enhance the Franchise Consultant role to improve service and performance.”

In addition to covering new material, this Franchise OPS will also feature several new franchise experts on its roster of speakers, including Bob Gappa, founder of Management 2000. Over the past 31 years, Gappa and Management 2000 have worked with more than 950 franchises, providing strategic insights and recommendations for those organizations to address critical business challenges and capitalize on new opportunities.

“Anybody who’s anybody in the franchising world either knows Bob Gappa or knows about him,” said Hackel.

In addition to Hackel and Gappa, other Franchise OPS speakers include: Deb Binder of Ingage Consulting, Rupert M. Barkoff of Kilpatrick, Townsend and Stockton; Keith Gerson of FranConnect; Eric Stites of Franchise Business Review; Stacey Ruth of Actio Marketing; Barth Getto of BizUnite; Mindy Golde of Listen360; and Matt Talbot of GoSpotCheck.

Topics to be covered at Franchise OPS include:

  • Technology for Field Consultants
  • Benchmarking
  • The Field Consultant of the Future
  • Better Onboarding
  • FDD Item 19 – How to Do It Right

Said Adam Marmelstein, COO, Brightway Insurance of Franchise OPS, “Even if you know a great deal about many topics, you don’t. Come and learn more about what you don’t know so you can take the first or fiftieth step down the path to success.”

In addition to the educational benefits, roundtable discussions and networking opportunities with C-level franchise executives, the Franchise OPS offers the added bonus of being approved for 300 CFE credits by the International Franchise Association.

“With a lot of conferences, you come away with good ideas and make some good connections but because you get that information on the fly, it’s not as easy to implement when you get back to the home office,“ said Hackel. “With Franchise OPS, each attendee will be able to take actionable items back with them to help improve their franchise operations.”

Interested parties can register for the Franchise OPS before November 3 for $599. After that, the fee increases to $699.

Added Hackel, “Those interested in attending should register early. The previous OPS in Denver sold out before the early bird special and something tells me that with our agenda and roster of speakers, the same will be true in Atlanta.”

Franchise OPS is sponsored by FranConnect, Franchise Business Review, Kilpatrick Townsend and Stockton; Actio Marketing, BizUnite, Ingage Consulting, Listen360, Management 2000 and Go/Spot Check. For complete information on Franchise OPS, please visit http://www.franchiseoperationssummit.com.
