First Year Anniversary Beach Party

First Year Anniversary Beach Party Tutorz Celebrates its First Year Anniversary with sun, food, and fun. Port Hueneme, California, July 18th, 2007. Re-released March 9th, 2011. The first year anniversary was a momentous occasion for all Tutorz stakeholders. The Saturday event not only marked a milestone in the companies development it also gave employees an opportunity to socialize in a casual setting outside of the office. The afternoon began with a wonderful presentation by Dirk Wagner, founder and CEO, that focused on site functionality and usage statistics. Mr. Wagner highlighted Tutorz’ success in saying: “In one short year Tutorz’ has become the largest tutor referral site on the web indexing well over 10,000 tutors nationwide.” In addition to the educational lecture, appetizers, prepared by Dhammika, Human Resources Director at Tutorz, were a tasty treat for the audience. Shortly after the presentation everyone gathered for a group photo, squinting in the sun, most of the guests managed to keep their eyes open in what turned out to be a great photo, “thanks Tutorz Family.” Following the photo many guests enjoyed a walk on the Port Hueneme pier, which was full of fisherman that particular afternoon. A great fishing spot, everyone observed as fisherman baited hooks and dropped lines in hope of a meal for the evening. Lucky for the Tutorz Family their host had already caught our fish at the local grocer and was preparing a spectacular meal as they enjoyed the scenic stroll. Youth at the event had some fun as well and got a chance to show off their athletic abilities at the pier. Anthony, a middle school student in attendance, ripped up the surf on his sponge as others from the Tutorz Family watched and cheered him on. No celebration could be complete without a wonderful feast to round out the evening. Everyone bellied up to the table after the walk to enjoy a delicious Barb-B-Que complete with salmon, chicken, corn, and other goodies. Leaving the event with a happy belly and a sense of greater accomplishment Saturday evening the Tutorz Family is excited and motivated for the future. Looking forward to another year of success, employees are focusing on changing the way people think about finding a good tutor in their area.
