Getting to Know The Lucy Crew
The Lucy Crew was started nearly 20 years ago to fill the need for a crew who would as- semble consumer products items and be will- ing to work on a part time – as needed basis. Most of the original crew consisted of family members of Crest employees that were willing to work an undefined schedule. The original group decided they reminded them- selves of Lucy and Ethel from an episode of the I Love Lucy show when they worked on an assembly line and immediately fell behind and tried to eat the candy they were packing to keep it from falling on the floor. While the members of the Lucy Crew have changed many times over the years, the name has stuck.
Today’s version of the seven member Lucy Crew sees action one to two times a week and spends time doing assembly work for product lines such as Uncle Wiley’s and Chex Mix sea- sonings. While we may not see them every day, they play a vital role in making sure our Consumer Products customers receive the best care possible from Crest Foods. (The photo above is a rare day that ALL 7 of the Lucy Crew were available to work together.) Connie Karper, Mardelle Kennay, Linda Stark, Linda Hollewell, Carol Richardson, Kathy Smith & Donna Ankney
