Lynn and Ricki – don’t ask!
This year we carried on with our tradition of inviting the veterans who work on our team (assembling our kits, etc) to come from their workshop in Leeds* to our shop in Whately for a holiday party, with food, song and bingo. We really appreciate the work they do for us and it’s fun for us to have the opportunity to get to know them better. Here are a few pictures (so you can get to know us better, too)…
Before the party, we all contribute something to our gift bags for the veterans- cookies, breads, lottery tickets, etc. This year we had 16 bags.
