Once again, Collages.net’s annual company holiday party was a smashing success. Employees and their guests eagerly arrived at CEO Kevin Casey’s decked-out home early Friday evening. As singer and guitarist Jim Rollins provided live holiday music, Collages.net employees sipped on their drinks, enjoyed the wonderful company, and basked in the all-around holiday cheer.
After enjoying the delicious meal prepared by caterers Marie and Chelsea, CEO and COO Kevin and Norm brought their lively employees together in the heated tent to recognize Collages.net’s progress in 2007. “It would be impossible for me to name just one employee of the year,” announced Kevin. “Everything we’ve accomplished in the past year has been such a team effort.”
Under the guidance of Director of Marketing and Product Development Deirdre Gillin, Collages.net employees worked tirelessly to release a complete product line to our photographers in 2007. These products, which include albums, gallery wraps, proof books, and high-end cards, were made possible by Deirdre’s positive attitude and commitment to providing our customers with the highest-quality products. Because of her ceaseless efforts, everyone at Collages.net was pleased to join Kevin in presenting Deirdre with the well-deserved Director of the Year award!
Following the awards ceremony, the guests refilled their cups with Kevin’s infamous Christmas punch and gathered in the tent to play the annual company game. This year, employees were asked a series of work-related, humorous yet tasteful “yes” or “no” questions. Each question an employee answered positively entitled that employee to place his or her name in a basket for a chance to win the grand prize. The more positively answered questions, the greater the chance of winning! This year’s grand prize winner was Erik Matey of Customer Service, who took home a 7.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot A560. Congratulations, Erik!
As the games and excitement drew down, the evening came to a close. Partygoers collected their coats, each remembering to take a gift from the grab bag before he or she departed. Although we are disappointed that this year’s party is over, we are reassured by our anticipation that next year’s Christmas party will be bigger and better, with even more reasons to celebrate!
Thank you to all of our photographers for a fantastic 2007 – here’s to wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and successful 2008!
