We couldn't have planned it better!
An extra special retiree also happened to win the biggest prize of the night: our annual 50/50 raffle!
Ed Eriksson was the first president of the FA, so it made us quite happy that after honoring his decades of service to the college and union, he was the lucky recipient of $500.
Our holiday party guests applauded all of this year's retirees, as the FA thanked them for their years of service and sent them off with well wishes for a long, happy and healthy retirement:
- Doreen Biondolillo (Eastern)
- Ed Eriksson (Ammerman)
- Deborah Kiesel (Ammerman)
- Laurette Lizak (Eastern)
- Sofia Papadimitriou (Ammerman)
- Thomas Phillips (Ammerman)
- Ralph Williams (Grant)

- Barbara DeFina (Central)
- Patricia Hanna (Ammerman)
- Steve Klipstein (Ammerman)
- Elaine Merenda (Ammerman)
- Joseph Pontieri (Ammerman)
- Pamela Rathburn-Ray (Grant)

We are also thankful to our holiday party committee this year, which is perennially headed up by our office manager Anita Greifenstein. The party simply would not happen without Anita: thank you, Anita! Committee members included Alexander Atwood, Lisa Behnke, Maria Contreras-Hernandez, Kenya Harvey and Rich Lauria.
Finally we'd be remiss not to extend our gratitude to these generous groups and organizations that donated the following raffle prizes this year:
As always, we greatly appreciate your generosity!
