Laura,
This might not be appropriate for your
organization, but something that I do here at the Bureau of the Public
Debt is to recognize our anniversary. It's not something that I originated,
but rather something I appreciated and borrowed from a former supervisor
at the National Park Service in St. Louis [thanks, Kathryn]. Each
year on our "birthday," I buy a sheet cake at Costco--for the
record, out of my own pocket, less than $20--put it in the employee break
room, and send an email to all the staff to help themselves. It's
low-key, and I try to make it fun. Last year I had the cake decorated
"Celebrating 65 years of Debted Bliss," an oblique reference
to the ballooning federal debt that our bureau manages. Good luck!
Harry
