When the 60th anniversary rolled around three years ago, the event moved to Hub City Brewing. The lunch was held on Aug. 13.The long serving table is inviting enough with large aluminum pans of bread, bacon, cheese, lettuce, and dozens of slices of juicy red tomatoes, which play a big part in the planning.“We first try to figure out what date works and when we can get tomatoes,” said Ginger French, who’s a vice-president and architect. “Then the employees are each responsible for coordinating drinks, desserts and so on. “We actually have a little session after each lunch to see how the different serving stations work to know how to improve for next year or use the same set up, “ As many as 300 have turned out for the BLT lunch in past years. French said being part of the TLM team means being part of a team for the big day, which originated from an employee lunch in the basement when the company moved to the LaFayette Street location. “Frank Wagster always grew tomatoes and he would bring them to the office,” French said. “One day Dennis Henderson had a mayor in the office and invited him to eat lunch with us, then later had the idea to invite a few more people to lunch. “The next year we invited 10 mayors, which led to making a client list, and the BLT lunch grew from there.”She said most of the 50 employees don’t get a chance to meet clients and others involved with TLM in person as conversations more often take place over the phone, so it was a way for those who work together to meet face-to-face.“These are real people, real communities, and it lets us and our employees do something for our clients that have done a lot for us,” French said. “It's really about appreciation, and we love that.”</div></body>
