Kudos to Paul Kolak. Thanks to Paul Kolak for organizing the Mobile Food Pantry here at NMC through Feeding America. Paul organizes volunteers and the food delivery on-site. Many families have been served thanks to his leadership and the volunteers who help distribute the food each month.

Kudos to Brittany Hanbury, Hollie DeWalt, Carly McCall, Esther Nance, Lil Anderson, Sarah Montgomery-Richards, Lynne Moritz, and Todd Haines. The whole holiday party planning committee did a wonderful job putting on a fabulous party. Everyone on the committee brought a level of passion for creating a fun and inclusive event for the college to enjoy. Several additions aimed at increasing inclusion and belongingness such as gingerbread team building, and the get-to-know-you bingo game leading. With attendance increasing by 25% this year, it’s clear that their hard work paid off.

Kudos to  Lil Anderson and Lindsey Bradeen. Lil and Lindsey were instrumental in the success of our Holiday Party. I had checked the wrong box and we almost didn’t have a projector and laptop for the party. They quickly and gracefully resolved the issue while also executing the rest of their event duties wonderfully. Thank you to them and the full Hagerty team for their fabulous event planning and event execution work.

Kudos to Employees at the Hagerty Center. The Hagerty Center employees always do a great job putting on events and the Holiday Party was no exception. The food was delicious, tables were cleared, the bar service was prompt, and overall they did a fabulous job. Thanks for always making our events great.
