Did you know that April 25th marks World Penguin Day? We had never heard about this until recently.
If you know us a little, you know that the Penguin is near and dear to our hearts and has earned its status as the McClain Insurance Team Mascot! The story of the penguin came about almost ten years ago, when we discovered the following story that seemed to describe our team perfectly:
“The Power of Team”
“The flightless fairy penguin of Australia stands less than a foot tall and is clumsy on land, where the fox is its natural enemy. Alone, one penguin wouldn’t survive for long. So, after each day in the water, they gather where the surf meets the shore, waiting until the last penguin joins them. Then, shoulder to shoulder, they march up the beach to their burrows.
They support each other. They rely on each other. And everyone, except the fox, wins.
We’re a stronger team because of you!”
From there on out, the penguin was one of us. If you see a penguin pin on our lapels, a mural on our front door, or a penguin supervising our book or toy drives, don’t be surprised. He’s official!
To celebrate World Penguin Day, we thought we’d share a laugh with you: Enjoy this cute and funny video of our tuxedo’ed friends!
Happy World Penguin Day!
