[Publib] Staff get-well card

[Anita Barney]

I want to share my great idea with you all.  We have a staff member who had 
knee replacement surgery, and we wanted to send her a get well card.  Last 
night was our staff holiday party, so almost all of our (very small) staff 
was here.   I printed "Get well soon!" in 600 point letters, one letter per 
sheet of paper.  I lined up the staff and handed out the individual 
letters.   "No dessert until we do this photo," I said.  Spaces between 
words were filled with a person without a letter, and people kneeling in 
front of "Get well" held the letters for "soon!" .  Printed it on the color 
laser, stuck it in a frame, and got a great laugh from the patient.    I'm 
sending the same photo to a Board member who had a stroke.  We'll have the 
photo up on Brookfield LIbrary's Flickr site today or tomorrow.

I'm not *too* pleased with myself!
