Holiday Party 2009

2009-12-06T16:13:00.001-08:00

The Holiday Party was a big hit! Good food, good friends, good entertainment, good gifts, what more could anyone ask for? Thanks Serenity for the great time!

Thanksgiving Feasts 2009

2009-12-03T22:45:00.000-08:00

Each Thanksgiving, Serenity Hospice donates some Thanksgiving feasts to needy veterans in the Portland/Vancouver area. Team members have the opportunity to act as "Thanksgiving Elves" to deliver these meals, providing many opportunities for warm fuzzies.

This is how Trevor transported the feasts to distribute to Thanksgiving Elves in the parking lot at Marie Callender's! It made me nervous! By some miracle, no feasts were lost during this stunt!

Halloween 2009

2009-12-03T22:40:00.001-08:00

We had a costume contest at our staff meeting for the month of October. This is the group from our Portland office. Did anybody in Salem take a picture of the people who dressed up there? Send it to me so I can add it to the blog! In Portland, we had a wench, Axl Rose, Chuck Norris, Linda Richman (from Coffee Talk), a cowboy, and a tamed lion! Good sports! Amazingly, none of us won the costume contest! I need that Salem picture of our winner!

These are the three brave ladies who donned some Harry Potter spectacles and a lightning scar for the Serenity screening in July 2009! Basically they are the Harry Potter nerds of Serenity! I can say that because they know it is meant in a loving and admiring way! These ladies rock this look!

Serenity Prank Considered a Success!

Here, you can see Trevor's reaction to the foiling. He was mesmerized and LOVED it so much he wanted to keep it that way.

Where's Lenny?

2009-05-04T14:12:00.000-07:00

While Lenny was away, basking in the warmth and sun of Hawaii, the Serenity Pranking Team attempted to fill his office full of balloons! The Pranksters were able to fill it pretty full! Good work! Lenny seemed quite pleased that he was finally able to get some use out of that sword he has hanging on his office wall, as he made quick work of popping all 725 balloons! Just remember this Lenny, the worse we prank you, the more we like you!

Can you find Lenny in this picture?

2009-03-29T01:47:00.000-07:00

Michael needled everyone who wanted to try acupuncture! Then he lulled them to la-la-land with his magical harp! Needless to say, I think this was everyone's favorite staff meeting to date! Thanks Michael!!!

Caption Contest!

2009-03-29T01:41:00.000-07:00

I'd like to announce that Chaplain Jack was the winner of the previous caption contest and has won himself a very nice (if I do say so myself) prize! Here is a new picture for the next caption contest. Lets see what you've got!

And might I add that these three comedians did this right in front of the Marquis team that came to present to us and provided the treats which allowed for this! I think the Marquis peeps loved to see how much fun we have at Serenity though!

"I Do"

2009-01-26T18:19:00.001-08:00

Some members of Serenity's own Dream Team (really, that's ALL of us!) granted one of our patient's wishes today by throwing her a "wedding" which was really a promise ceremony but everyone called it a wedding. Hopefully pictures will follow soon, we are waiting for photographic release forms to be signed by all parties involved and then we will have something fun to look at to go along with this story. Way to go Dream Team of Serenity! Those involved in today's nuptials were: Kari, Brandon, Mara, and Michael. Let me know if I left anyone out - I want you all to have a shout out for the amazing work you did on pulling this together! Kari helped beautify the bride by providing the veil and helping her get ready for her big day, Brandon worked hard on getting things donated for the ceremony, Mara got her parents to bake the wedding cake and Mara safely transported the cake to the ceremony site as well as provided the hair and makeup styling for the eager bride, and Michael added the piece de resistance (that's French, peeps) of harp music to top it all off! I wish we all could have been there! I understand there may be video of this event, so I'll see if I can add that to our blog as well... Fingers crossed!!!
