408 Client appreciation reception

About 60 people gathered at Hotel Lakeside yesterday afternoon to hear a thank you from my husband for being his clients over the last 10 years. It was a lot of fun, and the photo albums we prepared of the job sites were very popular, with people looking not only for their own homes, but fascinated by the other cottages that had been designed, or rebuilt or renovated. Our son had to make two trips back to our cottage (only 3 blocks) to pick up items we forgot, like the guest book and camera. People who RSVP'd at the last minute showed, and some that had called far ahead, didn't. But in general, it was a good turn out. He designed a t-shirt using the drawings of all the projects arranged in a design (front) with a list of the clients and their addresses (back), sort of like the "last tour" of some rock groups. We provided a map with key to all the projects (about 25 completed). T-shirts were also given to the Director, Bud Cox, the Programming guru, Keith Addy, and the various contractors, one of whom had done 9 of the jobs.
