Guess where in the world I am in the photo below. Good luck!

The closest (and most precise) guess wins! Example: if I post a Summit photo, and participants guess ‘Colorado,’ ‘Denver,’ and ‘Hyatt Regency Denver,’ then the most precise answer (Hyatt Regency Denver) wins.

Please note: Only P&P SIG members are eligible to participate in the contest.

Here is January’s photo. Contest directions follow.

Can you guess where Monte is in this photo?

I’ve been to 13 Summits, three of which were in Atlanta!

I paused for a photo op outside of the Hard Rock Cafe, just steps away from the Summit venue. Several community leaders took a break from Leadership Day in 2009 to have a fun networking lunch.

It’s those moments outside of the Summit sessions where you get to know other STC members, who share stories, tribulations, and triumphs. These are the moments you remember for a long time.

Thank you to all who participated in the December edition of our “Where in the World is Monte, the P&P mascot?” contest. We look forward to your guesses for January’s challenge. Good luck to all!

“Where in the World is Monte, the P&P SIG Mascot?” Answer to November contest

Each month, P&P SIG members try to guess SIG mascot Monte’s location in a “mystery photo” provided by SIG leadership team member Tricia Spayer, who takes Monte along on all her travels. Here is the answer to November’s contest.

Location: Poorvo, Finland
Winner: Bobbi Werner, STC Treasurer and P&P SIG member

I got to travel on a cruise to the Baltic in 2011. One of my favorite ports was Helsinki, Finland, where some of Tricia’s ancestors were from (they actually lived in the arctic circle, but visiting Finland was cool!). Not only did we explore the beautiful city of Helsinki, we traveled a little East to the small town of Poorvo, which was founded way back in 1346! Wow! This town, with its cobblestone streets, was easy and fun to walk around and explore. One of the highlights was the cathedral which celebrates the maritime history of Finland.

Thank you to all who participated in the “Where in the World is Monte, the P&P mascot?” Remember to participate in December’s challenge. Good luck to all!
