Every year I coordinate a huge potluck at work. Today, I hope everybody enjoys the food that we’ve all worked so hard making.

I worry I may not be able to pull it off in time or everybody will bring in the same dish. But I’ve been doing it for 10 years and it’s always been a success, so I shouldn’t be worrying.

When I first started here at Quaker, I was a very shy person and I had to work at developing personal relationships. Now I feel so comfortable in this space.

The reason I put myself out there and organize these activities is because when everybody is working well together, making friends and laughing, we accomplish so much more.
