Volunteer Potluck #2
Tonight was our second annual Volunteer Potluck on the Roof! It was also a goodbye party for Rika, who is leaving us next Friday for new adventures (and grad school). It was a really nice event -- I still think that roof is one of the best venues I've seen for a party, and the weather was of course perfect. There was just a lot of positive energy and its the best I've felt about things at The Tech for a while. Everyone is definitely going to miss Rika -- she's done an amazing job!
Here's me and Rika and the card all the volunteers signed for her
I made turkey & brie, and ham & swiss sandwiches (since this year my part of the alphabet was assigned main dishes, and I had to go so early to help set up that I didn't want to make anything hot...) People brought all sorts of amazing things (including some very dangerous desserts!)
Tech President Peter Giles addressed the group and reminded us all that the volunteers are the heart-beat of the museum :)
I forgot to count how many people came, but I think it was a pretty good turnout.
I ended up taking 130 pictures! But I won't bore you with the rest (but will of course post them on our Tech Volunteers Online Community!)
