NORTH ATTLEBORO BUSINESS AFTER HOURS RECEIVES A GREAT RESPONSE!

North Attleboro hosted the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce "Business After Hours" Event on May 4th. This is the first time that the RI Chamber has held a BAH event outside of their state! On the days leading up to the event, the number of registrants was teetering, but on game day the folks turned out, with about 35 attendees. Chamber Executive Lesley Palagi followed up with a note admiring our planning and arrangements adding that, "The facility is impressive, and the whole staff was warm and welcoming." At both United Regional and N. Rhode Island Chamber events, their respective staffs were equally impressed at the participation and engagement displayed by the Patriot associates toward all guests. Special thanks to Sharon Jorde for being the on-site manager, and to Pamfillio's for their fine catering.

INTRODUCING THE SUBARU GENIUS PROGRAM

Kyle Packard and Ryan Silva of Patriot Subaru of North Attleboro are the first Patriot Subaru Geniuses! Our Genius program ensures that all of our customers are getting the best possible delivery experience as these guys are focused on making sure that the customer understands how to operate every aspect of their new cars. They go over phones, navigation, Starlink, eyesight and more, and are available for service customers who have tech issues as well. We know that they're going to be a huge asset to our team as we continue to grow!

The Genius program will be implemented in the Saco store in the future as well! Stay tuned!

SUBARU INTRODUCES THE NEW 7 PASSENGER SUV

According to Torque News, the all- new 7 passenger SUV, will replace the Tribeca. The SUV could be based on a modified version of the Legacy and Outback platform and is expected to compete with the Toyota Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder, and Honda Pilot. Subaru is currently working to decide if the new 7 passenger SUV will resemble the Outback or the Forester. The vehicle could arrive in US showrooms as soon as late 2016 or early 2017.

The 2nd Annual Patriot Subaru summer picnic will take place on Sunday, August 2nd! We will be back at the Center Day Camp for an afternoon of watersports, fun, and a BBQ! We look forward to seeing everyone and their families at the lake!   If you would like to help organize/plan the event, please see Jackie Parker!

Patriot Subaru will be at the Old Port Festival in Portland, Sunday, June 14th! The event itself runs from 11am-5pm. Volunteers are need- ed to help set up, and then ideally work in 2 hour shifts during the event. We'll set up our tent and chairs, Subaru cornhole, and a vehicle. We'll have a pair of Red Sox tickets to giveaway via a "Text To Win" system. Our location is right next to the WCLZ stage at the corner of Silver and Fore Streets, so we're in a prime spot, with great entertainment. A new band every hour! The space was provided to us as a bonus from the Portland Radio Group - thanks! If you are available to volunteer, please see Glen to coordinate.

Congrats to Joe Dio of North Attleboro!  Joe joined the Patriot team as the Service Manager and has now been promoted to the Fixed Operations Manager.  Congrats Joe!
