#323 Wuxi Family Day

Recently, my job location changed from the Suzhou factory to the Caterpillar R&D Center (CRDC) in Wuxi. Wuxi is another mid-sized (5 million people) city about 30 minutes west of Suzhou and Caterpillar has three facilities in Wuxi. I now travel to Wuxi every day and today the CRDC held their 1st Annual Family.

These family day events are loved by the employees and the employee satisfaction team spent a lot of time and effort planning the day. This event included games, professional entertainment, an employee talent show, a buffet BBQ dinner, and fireworks. The kids also got to see my new office - my first office with a door at Caterpillar.


You can see us enjoying dinner with friends Paul and Colleen and twin three year old boys. A highlight of the event was the watermelon eating contest which was won this year by our new friend, Chris - a visiting foreign dignitary from Aurora, IL. Chris is moving with his family to China in November to launch production in China another Cat machine product line.
