Robert LockardJuly 23, 2014Leave a Comment

Every year Fishbowl employees take one day to focus solely on others’ needs in our community. We step away from our desks, close our office, go outside, and start serving people. We call this our Fishbowl Day of Service. It’s one of our favorite traditions.

Fishbowl will serve veterans at its 6th annual Day of Service, Fishbowl BlogWe’re excited to announce our 6th annual Day of Service! This time around we will go to Central Utah Veterans Home in Payson, Utah on September 5, 2014.

Activities will include interviewing veterans, recording their stories, playing games with them, and doing some minor projects at the facility.

Here are all of the other Days of Service we’ve done over the past five years: (more…)

Robert LockardJuly 15, 20131 Comment on Fishbowl Goes to a Really Big Fishbowl

The Living Planet Aquarium logo, Fishbowl Inventory BlogI recently had the privilege of touring The Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy, Utah along with several other Fishbowl employees. It’s an amazing experience being immersed in the sights, sounds, smells, and even feels of the underwater world. They have a huge octopus, several penguins, and sea otters, as well as many varieties of fish, reptiles, and amphibians swimming around in their tanks.

Plus, we got to go behind the scenes and see how everything operates and stays so clean and well-organized day in and day out. (more…)
