Most of you all know that I work for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as a call-taker for 911 emergency. Tonight our communication center celebrated its annual Christmas party at the Marriott Hotel in Fairfield. Each year the xmas party brings employees together under one room to enjoy some fantastic food and dancing. It's a great way to release the frustration that work brings us throughout the year. This year we did an excellent job raising money to raffle some nice prizes. We gave away a 36 inch flat screen T.V., a Panasonic Camcorder, a George Foreman grill and a 50/50 raffle (the winner took home $640). In addition, the party allowed up to reflect on some wonderful times our center shared during the year. A few months ago our we lost a co-worker who was extremely dear to our hearts. Mrs. Holly Ann Harris always made your day every chance and opportunity she had. She was that special individual. She was responsible in coordinating several raffles and fundraisers at our center, she made sure that we shared special moments together. Celebrating the holidays without her for the first time, collectively, rips away at our hearts. In dedication to Ms. Holly's hard work we honored her with a plaque for her daughter, Tashuan Harris. It was a special moment for everyone inside the room. Her efforts and dedication will never be forgotten and will be deeply missed. Mrs. Holly if your reading this blog don't forget to finish the quilt I wanted you to make (BK). I know your having a blast in heaven. Thinking of you always.
Here is a photo I took of myself before the party.
Merry X-mas
