We missed the Taylor Roth Christmas Holiday party in Denver. We did get a nice recap from Savannah though, and it was charming enough that I would like to share it. We never get everyone to the annual get-together; they’re spread around Denver, Albuquerque, some in England this year, and wherever the remote workers happen to be. Light-hearted awards, serious recognitions, and that many of us together all at once. Nice.

…a TRC Christmas Party recap!
This year we went to a little southern brunch spot called Four Friends Kitchen that rents their space out for events in the evenings. We had the whole place to ourselves from 5-9 on Saturday and that was just super! Thanks to Warren and Dotte for the recommendation. The staff kept us happy with drinks, appetizers, HUGE dinners, and delicious desserts. They worked hard with me in the weeks preceding to meet all our desires and needs and I think they did a pretty great job, overall, and were great people to work with.
Because this year was a mini celebration of 35 years of TRC, we decided to have a little extra fun in the form of some silly and some not-so-silly awards.
First the silly…
The votes are in, and these were the winners of The Rothy’s:
Every winner received a tiny trophy and gift card to either Target or Shell.
| Award | Winner | Runner up |
| Tidiest Workpaper Award | Jess | Shannon/Dale |
| Most Likely to Email you at 1am | Becky | Warren |
| Excel Whiz Award | Ken | |
| Denver Golden Bagel Award (for the yummiest snacks!) | Ian | Ken |
| NM Golden Bagel Award (for the yummiest snacks!) | Shannon | Monika |
| Denver Lunchtime Conversationalist Award | D | Warren |
| NM Lunchtime Conversationalist Award | Shannon | Aryn |
| Denver Energizer bunny award | Dale | Savannah |
| NM Energizer bunny award | Monika | Teresa |
Now the not-so-silly…
We took the opportunity to express gratitude and honor for all the staff members who have spent 10+ years with Taylor Roth. They received a certificate (and an email early this morning) directing them to a website where they can choose a gift. (Except for Ken, who is now enjoying the gift that you all generously helped choose.)
Shannon, 10 years
Becky, 10 years (this time)
Jess, 10ish years (because she was here, then left, then came back to us)
Patti, 14 years
Janis, 15 years
David R., 16ish years (because he also was here, then left for a time, and returned)
Warren, 20 years
Ken, 25 years
Diane, 30 years
And I would be remiss not to remember Steve (and Judy) who, 35 years ago, built the foundation of hard work and care for staff and community that that this amazing company still stands on. We are forever grateful!
Finally…
I have three pictures. I know. Only three. That’s on me—I’m terrible at pictures. So, if anyone else has some from Saturday night, PLEASE share with the group!
