We held our annual appreciation dinners at Lucky's Steakhouse this year. The food was delicious, it just kept coming! Appetizers, dinner and desserts! We also listened to the poems that Damon and Carol wrote and each employee received a special certificates and a rose. We all felt very appreciated.
