Schuster Holiday Party 2009

Yesterday was our team holiday party. We did a potluck at Dr. Schuster’s house. Patti played the piano, we sang Christmas songs and smiled between each other because no one could sing that high of pitch. It was fun. It was a time to be in each other’s company without hearing the phone ring, emails to send and answer or meetings to attend. It was a time of togetherness.

Such is the nature of The Schuster Center. It is a place of belongingness…and of higher learning. Our students are like-minded spirits with a synergistic goal. And we, the Schuster team, are impacted as a whole with the life-long relationships created under our roof.

The food was great. I mean, who would bring something mediocre to a holiday potluck?! And behold! A miracle happened right before our eyes. Brenda Penwell actually took seconds!!!

All kidding aside, it was a time for appreciation and joy. We are all feeling very thankful to be able to have career posts within such a meaningful place. The team is a dedicated group and 2010 will be a stellar year for students and staff alike.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! May your holidays be filled with the love and joy of the spirit of Christmas.
