33. Just another official big “Thank You” for all you did to make today such a successful event.
The branch looked beautiful thanks to your vision of the color coordinated tables, food
displays and floral arrangements.
The attention to detail showed as everything came off perfectly! It was exactly the elegant,
beautiful event we were hoping for! We were pleased with the attendance and hope we get
some nice PR, but even if we don’t, it’s all good! You thought of so many little things that we
wouldn’t have considered, and all that work definitely paid off.
Lisa was extremely pleased as were the other managers, so thanks again for everything you did
to make it all come together so beautifully!
