After working at the same place for 40 years you tend to know ALOT of people so when I was asked to be on the planning committee for her retirement party I knew it was going to be a difficult task coming up with a place to house so many people...especially in the middle of December with office Christmas parties going on.
We finally settled on Casa Agave at the Legends & they were kind enough to close 1/2 the restaurant just for our party giving us access to the bar. We had over 125+ people RSVP & that many & then some ended up showing up to the event.
It was a "surprise" party for Miss Viviana & it wasn't easy keeping her from finding out but we pulled it off & she got the surprise of her life when she walked in & saw all those people there for just her!
Everyone had fun mingling, eating, drinking & saying their "goodbye's" to Miss Viviana all evening long. Our boss spoke to the crowd on her behalf as well as one of our long-time physician's thanking Viviana for all her years of dedication & service to St. Lukes Hospital & how she was going to be missed by everyone.
Afterwards there was cake (YUM) & the mariachi band started playing & the entire crowd was serenaded!
There were lots & lots of photos taken that night & we made sure to send them all to Viviana so that she would have them for the memories!
Adios Miss Viviana - you will be greatly missed :(
