Belinda's office Christmas Party!


Here is Belinda's recap for this party that she emailed to her co-workers.

Holiday Greetings to All of Y’all!  What a great time we had at our holiday party last Thursday!  Thanks to everyone for your participation!

All the team turned out for the event, including our honored guest Gary B.  (We missed you, Rita S.V., but we know you were with us in spirit.)  Additionally, we were happy to welcome Tammy’s husband “Dan Bob,” my husband Charles and my mother Sheila. 

To recap:  The food was great!  Everyone brought a present for the fun “gift-stealing game.”  Wow, Leona, how many gifts did you end up opening?!  Folks kept stealing your presents!  (It was impressive that everyone actually followed Irene’s direction about taking “nice”—“what-you-would-want-to-get” – presents for the exchange.  At other such events, the gifts are usually of a different “class/type.”)

Thanks for being good sports about playing the fun, silly games.  Congratulations to the three folks who won games and earned prizes!  … and…  To all who participated in the first-ever IAMB RML impromptu Hand-bell Choir:  Wow!  We got “Jingle Bells” down, thanks to Gary Bladen’s lead.  However, “Joy to the World” never really took off.  We just couldn’t get the rhythm of that one.  As one person was heard to exclaim, “Don’t quit your day jobs.”  (… which I thought was accurate/true.)

May your holiday celebrations be joy-filled, peace-filled and safe ones!

I so enjoy working with each and every one of you!  I look forward to our journey together into the next year!

All the best,

Belinda
