From left to right: Gemma, Sloane, Hailey, and Olivia

CAR experienced baby boom in the last 6 months with four employees expecting new babies. First born was Hailey Jean to CNC machinist Steve Cheesman. Next, toolmaker Mike Goungo had little girl Olivia Michelle. This was followed by Sloane Michelle and last but certainly not least Gemma Giavanna. With all these cuties CAR could not resist getting the little girls together for a photo. Quite a feat to get 4 babies under the age of one in a picture but we pulled it off. Thanks to photographer, Marc Pagano for all his hard work.
