Each year we celebrate the Festival of Trees where I work, and each neighborhood, and various departments enter their own tree. The residents go around looking at the trees and then cast their vote on which one is their favorite. Well this year, out of 2,000 votes, my neighborhood received 1,000 votes, and we were rewarded the Grand Prize. In the twenty years I have been there, this is the first year my neighborhood has won. I take it as a going- away gift, since I will be retiring in February. The residnets love this event.
