Libby,  

Through the years I've collected some other ideas which are attached.  Most of these came from one of our members, Rhonda Brown, who has retired now, but was very creative and had some wonderful celebrations.

Sandy Haskell at UH Hospital and Cathy Rinehart-Windsor from Knox Community Hospital also have had some awesome celebrations as well.

Hope the attached files are helpful to you and others.  Below are some other messages that have been sent out more recently.

PS. I hope you and your co-workers as well as anyone else reading this are signing up to attend the spring conference this year.  The committee has a great conference planned and the networking is so beneficial.
