Friday, November 2; Cultural Tasting Extravaganza

Dear Development Colleagues:

The Diversity Committee invites you to another Cultural Tasting Extravaganza on Friday November 2. This is an opportunity for us to share and enjoy each other’s cultural and family traditional cuisine.

All colleagues, including those whose office is at different locations, are invited to prepare your favorite dish and drop it in the ESC Cafe or Grace Hall.

The hope is to have food available all day long!

All colleagues, including those who do not bring food, are invited to stop by and taste!

Contact us with questions.

To All,

A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in the Halloween Party last Thursday! The decorating creativity was absolutely amazing, and the kids, as well as the adults, had a wonderful time! We are extremely grateful for the entire Development team’s contribution to this event.

Because of the outstanding effort by all teams, we decided to present a number of additional awards this year:

Rodeo Room – Best Looking Cowgirls

Movie Theatre – Best Use of Private Office Space

Safari – Best Immersive Experience

Toy Story – Team Spirit Award

 

Special thanks to Madame Ernestine and her assistant in training Lori Tinkey who predicted good fortunes to our visitors and to all the staff who dressed in costume to run games or hand out candy to our little trick or treaters!

 

 Now what you all have been waiting for — the winner of this year’s decorating contest!

The winners this year are:  The Annual Giving & Strategic Marketing Team with their rendition of SUPERHEROES!

 CONGRATULATIONS!!
