LegalMatch Life

LegalMatch House Party Bowls a Strike

The LegalMatch House Party at the South San Francisco headquarters was a complete success. There was a great turn out for BJ's food, Nintendo Wii Bowling, Ping Pong, Poker and a few lucky employees also went home with raffle prizes.

The LegalMatch team works hard, so the powers that be decided to show their appreciation with food, entertainment, and prizes. DJ LZ came up with a great mix of party jams, but the main focus was playing Wii which incited some friendly office rivalries. 

Ken was dominating the bowling scoreboard with a score of 190 before Matt edged him out with a 198. Honorable mentions to Jose, Kelly, Melinda, Lisa, Kimber, Denis, Laurie, Niesha, and Jake. Teejay dominated in ping pong as usual. Ben dealt poker and forgot to wear his green visor, much to our dismay. The party was also a chance for staff to meet new LegalMatch Membership Recruiting Managers Robin and Juan (Left Picture with Denis). 

While we can't say anything is for sure, there has been talk of an impending Wii Bowling Tournament. Stay posted...
