Monty Python Retirement Party

Our branch manager retires today.  I am really going to miss her.  She is an inspired leader who brings out the best in all of her employees without micromanaging.  That's a difficult balance to achieve.

We had her retirement party earlier this week.  It was just a drop by and say good luck event, but it was unexpectedly fun.  She is a huge Monty Python fan, so we themed the party around Monty Python - even going so far as to sing The Lumberjack Song, rewritten to read "I'm a Librarian".

I have a few pictures to share!

Do you remember the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail with the Bloody Rabbit?  Well, we made a mock up of the bloody rabbit into a photo booth...

This rabbit was the product of my very twisted imagination.  As you can see from the picture below, cutting out the mouth and adding red paint around the mouth made a huge difference in the overall effect.

 

 

It was a once in a lifetime retirement party!  I wish her the very best in her retirement!
