Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Hi everybody!

Finally, we are back and we have a couple of good stories for you.

First of all, it snowed only once so far and we had a small ice storm, but on all other days the weather is just fine. However, when it started snowing, it was snowing the whole day and we had a power cut. But it turned out pretty romantic, with all the candles we were lighting up :)

Nashville

Atlanta

Furthermore I can proudly tell, we made it to Nashville and Atlanta. Especially, when we headed back, it took us forever. It was raining like crazy and due to a lot of accidents that happened, we barely moved forwards, so we arrived at 1am in the morning. But we had a great time! We went line dancing at the Wilde Horse Saloon; had some great burgers and we had a tour through Nashville learning about all the great Country singers and places they were performing at. Nashville and Atlanta are absolute gorgeous cities and we had a great time there.

A week ago we went to the ballet “The Nutcracker” and it was wonderful! The music was amazing and so was the dancing! It kind of got us in the Christmas mood, even when the weather didn’t. And of course Royal Oak started to look amazing in its Christmas dress. All the lights and Santa Clauses!

Of course I needed to bake some German Christmas cookies! It took me some time to find all the ingredients, but I made it and I found some cookie cutters in our counters. My Canadian roommate tried some and nearly ate the whole box. It is always the same; it takes forever to bake them, but eating them is done in minutes.

On the 25^th my parents and my brother arrived, so I will spend a lot of time with sightseeing and shopping of course. I am really lucky to have them here, especially because they are cooking for me. You need to know, I am quite lazy and most of the time I eat noodles J

I am beginning to be sad, since there are only six weeks left till Sophia will leave. This is nearly nothing in intern time and I will miss her a lot! I think we are a pretty nice team.

Well, the New Year is coming up and with it a lot of new experiences and interns and I am curious about all the things that will happen!

Happy New Year to all of you!

About Cologne, Cars and Trees… - Update from the other Side of the Lake

Hi or as we would say in Franconia "Servus", a couple of months have passed since I started my internship at AutoCom and even though I cannot share something about the amazing sites within and around Detroit, I can still give you an update on what is happening. Philipp has joined us two months ago and we two are currently working on the Social Media Appearance of AutoCom. Even as "digital nomads" we encounter challenges and still have a lot to learn. However, it is great just to create new things from scratch or nearly immediately see a result when sharing a story or creating a post. But enough of work… About Cologne Larry and the others offered me to go to Cologne to attend a meeting with a client and I - of course - couldn't resist and decided to stay even a bit longer. It was a nice trip with splendid late summer weather and I was able to take a lot of images - at least until my battery died. About cars Since some of my initial projects were crushed by th...

It feels good to be home!

After completing my third year at Northern Michigan University in the Upper Peninsula, it feels good to be back home and in the office again. Larry was very gracious in allowing me to come back to AutoCom. For those of you that do not know me, my name is Tedi Falvo. Last summer I did an internship with AutoCom, and learned a lot about public relations outside of the classroom. Books can only teach you so much- the real learning comes when you go out on your own and put everything you have learned to the test. Last summer was a great experience, and I was thankful to work with such a great staff that was willing to help me succeed. While I was in Marquette, Mich. continuing my studies in public relations, and sociology, I remained in contact with AutoCom. When I had a question regarding an aspect of my studies, I always knew where to turn! It is nice to have wonderful people surrounding and filling you with all of their knowledge. That is one aspect I love about working here-everyone wo...

Jack inducted into PRSA Detroit Chapter Hall of Fame!

Hi everyone! Last night we went to the PRSA Detroit Chapter’s annual meeting. During the meeting was a ceremony for Jack Harned’s induction into the Hall of Fame. The meeting was downtown at the beautiful DTE Energy building. We had a great time networking with fellow colleagues in the PR industry and catching up with previous AutoCom employees. After dinner, Marty gave a great introduction to Jack. Jack’s speech was absolutely wonderful! Every one loved it! He talked about some of his past experiences from his hometown newspaper to working with GM and NASA. It seemed that everyone loved hearing his stories as much as we do at our Friday lunches! It’s great to know that Jack’s peers recognize all of his hard work. He has accomplished and seen so much, he truly deserves this award. From all of us at AutoCom: Congrats, Jack! We are all so proud of you! Leave some comments for Jack and keep an eye out for pictures, coming soon, at AutoCom's Facebook page! Until next time, Julia, Kerry...
