Feeling right at home in the Willis Tower
by Beth
Five years ago Easter Seals Headquarters moved from a smaller office in Chicago’s Loop to the Sears Tower (now called Willis Tower, the tallest building in North America. I’m not always the first to embrace change, and teaching my Seeing Eye dog to thread me through security, find the appropriate turnstile, locate which of the 90 elevators to take upstairs and find our way to our new cubicle was not easy. But hey, five years later, I gotta say: I feel right at home here.
Sounds like Willis Tower likes having us around, too: they’ve invited all the other tenants here to come hear Patricia Wright, Easter Seals National Director of Autism Services, give a lunch and learn at Willis Tower this Thursday, April 18. How gratifying it is to think that all the people working here at Willis Tower will have this opportunity to learn more about all we do at Easter Seals.
But wait, that’s not all. In addition to Patricia’s lunch and learn, Willis Tower has placed stanchion signs highlighting the Easter Seals mission in both the Wacker Drive and Franklin Street lobbies (I’m told they’re beautiful), They’ve placed Captivate ads in all of the building’s 90 elevators, and they’ve sent a message to the Tower’s database of more than 4,000 consumers inviting them to Patricia’s April 18th Lunch & Learn. I’m expecting a full house.
Thanks, Willis Tower. I was skeptical at first, but you’ve made us feel right at home.

How’s the view from the 103rd floor? (LOL)
