                       24 Hours
A man returns from the doctor and tells his wife that the doctor has told him he has only 24 hours to live. Given this prognosis, the man asks his wife for sex. Naturally, she agrees, and they make love. 
About six hours later, the husband goes to his wife and says, "Honey, you know I now have only 18 hours to live. Could we please do it one more time?" 
Of course, the wife agrees, and they do it again. Later, as the man gets into bed, he looks at his watch and realizes that he now has only 8 hours left. He touches his wife shoulder, and asks, "Honey, please...just one more time before die." 
She says, "Of course, Dear," and they make love for the third time. After this session, the wife rolls over and falls asleep. The man, however, worried about his impending death, tosses and turns, until he's down to 4 more hours. 
He taps his wife, who rouses. "Honey, I have only 4 more hours. Do you think we could..." 
At this point the wife sits up and says," Listen, I have to get up in the morning. You don't!"

Eldorado Honors Laurie Fehler
          For 30 Years of Service
At the age of 18, Laurie Fehler accepted a temporary receptionist position with Eldorado. Thirty years later, she jokingly maintains that her time with the company may still be temporary! 
Laurie has come a long way with the company. While she is officially the Administrative Services Manager; she oversees many vital operations for Eldorado on a daily basis. Since Laurie’s hire, Eldorado has transitioned industries and grown tremendously. When she started, she was using a typewriter and calculator to generate invoices. Now, of course, everything is computer based. 
Laurie states that she has never been bored at Eldorado. She has always been provided the opportunity to learn and grow as an individual and as an employee.
“The success and growth for both me and the company over the years has been amazing. It sure doesn’t feel like thirty years have gone by! What I appreciate most is how the Garland’s have fostered a team-oriented, professional business environment and really pulled us all through some challenging times.” Laurie Fehler stated regarding her anniversary with Eldorado.
Larry Garland, Owner and CEO of Eldorado commented: “Laurie has been an invaluable member of our team as Eldorado has grown over the last 30 years. She has been an integral part of our management team ensuring everyone understands the importance of customer service because after all, the customer pays our paychecks. It is hard to believe how fast 30 years can go when you 
are having fun! I’d like to express my true appreciation and gratitude for Laurie’s loyalty and dedication as we honor her for 30 years of service.” 
Thank you, Laurie!
