Tropical Day brightens winter workdays
The committee that coordinates the IPP department’s newsletter for staff, “The Steward,” took on the challenge of organizing the event, announcing it a couple of weeks ago.
By coincidence, the outdoor temperatures on Tropical Day – Feb. 23 – were in the 70s. So Tropical Day became a celebration of the return of good weather: staff dressed in costumes, decorated their offices and workspaces, and brought in food and games. They visited each other’s workplaces and voted on the best-decorated office – and shared in a temporary, tropical reprieve from the grey days that have dominated the past few weeks.
