The Coca-Cola Corporation, Ireland, and Carrie Underwood...the connection!

Well after heading home from Alabama...me and my family spend the day together in downtown Atlanta.  We were invited to visit the Coca-Cola corporation by my good friend and (SMP Leader...tell you more about that in my upcoming newsletter)...Steve Hyland.  Above is inside the corporation...where they do not have tours...but we had an insider...Steve is the VP of marketing for COKE. Above is the grand entrance...where each day they switch out the "customer flags" to represent the exact customer who is coming in that day for a meeting.  Pretty cool huh?
Here we are with Steve Hyland in his office on the 17th floor!  It had a beautiful view of downtown.  It was so neat to see where all the marketing action takes place.  Steve is so influential in his company...not only because of his position...but because he is so open and passionate about his Faith.  He leads several prayer meetings each week as well as sends out daily devotionals to the staff.  He is a true man of Faith...and loves Jesus!  That is why we love him!
Me and Steve at the Coca-Cola folk art exhibit.  Countries from all over the world sculpted their version of the Coke bottle...unique to their place in the world.  Above is Ireland's representation!  
This is so cool.  Above is inside the World of Coke...the museum of Coke...just down the street from the Coke corporation.  The couch you see above is the season 4 American Idol couch...the very one that Carrie Underwood sat on each week!
In one of the display halls...we came across Coca-Cola and sports merchandising.  Above is the official jersey for Ireland's "football" team...or for those of us in the States...their soccer team.
