The V2 Systems Team Celebrates Cinco de Mayo!

May 6, 2023 | Blog

The 5th of May is a great reason to celebrate and the V2 Systems team did not want to miss out. We decided to add some spice to our work routine with a Cinco de Mayo celebration at our V2 office! We had a Mexican-inspired potluck and celebrated Cinco de Mayo – the commemoration of the Battle of Puebla, and thus the victory of the Mexican army against the French invasion.

All our team members prepared their own homemade dishes and we took some time out of our stressful, busy workdays to visit and connect.

We also got finally got the chance to crown our Fantasy Football Champion at the event!  A little late, but still well-deserved. Congratulations, Chris Waskowich!

 

Like most of our team celebrations, we all had a great time, ate too much food. And yet still, had tons of leftovers.

If you’d like to see even more pictures from our team luncheon hop on over to our Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram.

Feel free to give us a follow while you’re there.  You never know if your favorite engineer may make an appearance next month!
