Holiday Luncheon There’s no place like Facilities for the Holidays!

Employees gathered on Thursday, Dec. 15 for the annual Holiday Luncheon. Food preparation began two days before the event, as chicken was prepared and marinated. The night before the event, grills were fired up as one group prepared to stay overnight and began grilling. On the morning of the event, the remainder of the food was prepared. This included frying chicken, cooking potatoes, prepping the salad bar, preparing drinks and much more. Decorations went up the day before the event, and Dirty Santa presents, which were donated by Facilities employees, were wrapped. In total, approximately 40 employees were needed to make this event a success. Many employees submitted desserts for a baking contest, too. Congratulations to Alan Lindsay, winner of the baking contest. During the luncheon, three employees were recognized as the top Tigers of the Year (see page 4). Thank you to everyone who helped to make the 2016 Holiday Luncheon such a success!
