December 15, 2011 – Annual Staff Pot Luck

On Thursday evening, December 15, HBS staff and their families gathered together at the HBS offices for the annual potluck supper.  It’s always a treat to see the youngsters again; Jessie, Tamara and Nathaniel have been to each party during their short lives.  Teenagers Sarah, Rachel, and Emily were quick to help out while Corbin dared to take on the President in a heated game of ping-pong!  A vast variety of appetizers, entrées, and desserts were offered: Gale’s snowball cake was both beautiful and delicious and Victoria’s chocolate fountain was a big draw.  Four tables were needed to put out all the food.  With so many contributions, there was enough for everyone to have seconds; even then, there were leftovers for lunch on Friday.

New game room with ping pong table

You know what’s fun? Getting this new website launched and completing all the tedious tasks involved :)

We finally have a room that we can set-up as a games room. The ping pong table is the first game and Marilyn can’t wait. She may accept challenges from clients to play double-or-nothing on their invoices. (Lynn will probably veto that plan!!!)
