Many Happy Returns!

A HUGE Compass thank-you to the sixty-five courageous cutesters who packed the Compass Centre last night for our second annual alumni reunion evening - from cagey veterans of years past to nubile newbies of recent departure to everyone in between, the sheer volume of good energy in one space was enough to make the Grinch's heart grow FIVE sizes that day. I'd like to extend some extra-special additional gratitude to our lovely "a little bit giraffe, a little bit jackal" welcome wagon, Arezoo and Parto, who made everyone feel welcome and to all the unsung heroes who helped tidy up the centre at the end of the evening. I hope you all got to catch up with some familiar faces as well as meet a few new ones that might help with your journey (or at least provide a few extra smiles along the way). Last night was just one more confirmation of our ongoing claim that we are so fortunate to get to work with the very finest folks in the world and hope that the connections continue as we all march forward into the exciting unknown.

Thanks again, everyone, and (especially for you Golds out there) make sure to keep some time open next February, too, when we plan to raise the roof one more time for a third annual return of the occasion.

Have a great weekend, all, and feel free to check out some photographic evidence of last night's festivities at the link below (but please excuse my dodgy lenswork - it was a bit of a long day).
