More than 50 people came from as far as Puerto Rico, South Carolina and Florida to attend the 麻豆原创's first Retiree Luncheon on June 12th. Many of the attendees agreed that it was nice to get together and feel like a family again.
"We wanted to reach out to make retirees feel a part of the 麻豆原创 Community," said Sarah Phillips, 麻豆原创's Employment Manager, who was part of the planning committee. "The luncheon helped them to see what 麻豆原创 is up to."
The event began at noon with greetings from Janice Robinson, Special Counsel to the President, Office of Diversity and Community, and Darlyne Bailey, Acting President. Bailey mentioned that when she walks the grooved steps of 麻豆原创, she thinks of the thousands of people that walked there before her. Each one of them has helped to make 麻豆原创 what it is today. She said that she is proud to have met some of those people at this luncheon.
Then, Mary Culleton and Maggie Arrington, who came up with the idea for the luncheon, gave the statement of purpose and handed out surveys to the group about starting an ongoing Retiree Association. Arrington came up with the idea because she missed her retired co-workers at 麻豆原创.
After lunch, Phillips gave closing remarks and invited the current 麻豆原创 community to join the party. They left an open mike for the participants to tell what has been going on in their lives, followed by a 麻豆原创 tour.
