Last December 18, the Every Nation Operations Department hosted the Christmas party for EGSI, 3rd Alert, Hi-Cool, ISS, and ACLC personnel. That night, the staff arranged the catering and set-up, prepared raffle prizes and Christmas packages, emceed the program, organized games, gave awards, and - of course - took pictures.
Aside from the usual games (and in lieu of the all-time favorite 9-1-1), the guests were asked to give group presentations. The three groups - GREEN (EGSI janitorial), RED (3rd Alert guards), and YELLOW (EGSI technical, Hi-Cool, ISS, & ACLC) - gamely sang and danced to impress (or amuse?) the judges. In the end, the Green Team won.
What we did for one night is not enough to show our gratitude to the men and women behind-the-scenes who clean and set up for us, ensure our safety and security, operate the sounds and lights, do repairs and maintenance, keep the building cool, run errands for us, and tend the plants for 365 days and nights, sometimes 24/7. Still, the party was an expression that they are important and appreciated.
