January- February 2015 Volume 19 Issue 1 Christmas Party Brings Holiday Cheer On December 19, all employees, independent contractors and their families were welcomed into the Big Tent for our annual Christmas Party. The theme of this year’s celebration was “An Old Fashioned Christmas,” with glittery nutcrackers, cozy fireplaces, and red, green and white decorations placed high and low. Food was aplenty, and many activities kept the partygoers busy. Some families had their pictures taken with Santa or the Disney characters, while others enjoyed having their faces painted, getting temporary tattoos, receiving whimsical balloon animals, playing games, and making their own picture frames at the arts and crafts area. Still others could be found dancing to the beat of the D.J. A sincere thank you to the many employees and independent contractors who bought raffle tickets this year. All proceeds go to The Russell Home for Atypical Children, and you helped raise more than $10,900 that will assist the home with their many special needs. It was a fun-filled day for all, and the party committee wishes everyone all the best for a healthy and prosperous New Year!
