Throw a hula hooping contest, relay races, a good ol’ fashioned game of tug-o-war, and some trivia together with our amazing staff, and you have the ingredients for a great party. I can’t remember a time when I had more fun or laughed more uncontrollably than at our staff field day Sunday night at our Chief of Education and Training Sarah Babcock’s nearby farm.
One of the highlights of the event for me (and for most everyone in attendance) was when Timothy Joyner, our manager of volunteers and programs, and Carly Sgueo, our manager of adoptions, went head to head for the hula hooping championship. Below you can catch a peek at their dual and witness the winner’s victory strut. I literally could watch this once a day and never grow tired of seeing it. If this doesn’t make you laugh out loud, nothing will.
The evening of fun planned by our aptly named Committee of Fun was an opportunity for our Richmond SPCA team to come together outside the shelter to relax and enjoy each other’s company. It’s an annual occasion to briefly steal our attention away from the daily pressures of our important work…and maybe hurl ourselves down a Slip ‘n Slide or toss a water balloon or two!
