The November 2021 update is live on Gameops.com.

We start the party with a podcast featuring Rob Wicall and Sean Sullivan. Sean works with Wreaths Across America, a group honoring thousands of veterans each year by placing wreaths at their graves.  We talk to Sean about hitting the right tone for your Military Appreciation Night and how Wreaths Across America can enhance your night.

Then we welcome back Rob Wicall.  Rob and I look at Best of 2021 Nominations, Water Cooler Highlights and Gameops.com Plus.

All the new and featured content is highlighted below.  

And be sure to make your nominations for the Best of 2021. Nominations close on November 15th.

Content Features: The Water Cooler on Gameops.com
“It isn't enough for a promotion to be entertaining or even amusing; it must create conversation. When the fan goes home and talks about what he has seen, he is getting an additional kick out of being able to say he was there. Do not deny him the simple pleasure, especially since he is giving you the invaluable word-of-mouth advertising to add to the newspaper reports.” - Bill Veeck (Hustler's Handbook)

Water Cooler Moments are those that create conversation. Mascot skit, theme night, giveaway or wacky contest. We seek them out and serve them up on Gameops.com DAILY Monday through Friday.
