Ho Ho Ho and Happy Holiday Season! Our CIL staff elves got into the holiday spirit earlier this month and festively decorated our Christmas tree, activity room, lobby and hallways in both the Gainesville and Ocala office! Special thanks to everyone who was able to help make the CIL sparkle during this festive season! Everything looks fantastic, and the addition of holiday music playing in the lobby, makes it even more perfect for this time of year!

Additionally, CIL staff were able to enjoy a Health and Wellness Activity amidst their busy days at work. We had our very first pop-up surprise event for staff, sharing just a day and time to be ready for a fun activity, but with no additional information. Staff were pleasantly surprised to discover that we would be creating our very own personal name ornaments using scrabble-like tiles for names, as well as other fun embellishments to add. Staff had a blast putting their own finishing touches to their ornaments, and once they were ready, we placed them on our tree! We will be able to enjoy them for years to come, and look forward to the next pop-up surprise in the new year!

Golden stars are displayed throughout both graphics. The first graphic displays 6 pictures of CIL staff with their holiday decor around the office.
