Prof. Admins. Week

[nolalady]

Looking for ideas on how my company's Admin. Group can celebrate "our" week, We very limited budget - probably out my own pocket and that of the two other co-chairpersons.

This is the first year we have regrouped and started conducting quarterly meetings as well as 2 or 3 "lunch & learn" sessions per year.  We already have a "Accounting Dept. lunch & learn" meeting scheduled for that week on Monday, (the company is paying for the lunch) but I want to acknowledge our accomplishments as a group.  

I first thought of having a cake, but almost everyone is dieting and don't want to have temptations around.

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks,

What about a dreamy fruit plate(s)?  Low-fat coolwhip is always good with the fruit too.  Would the company be willing to give y'all a 2-hour lunch, or some such, where you could all go out to eat  together(each paying their own way), and then you could present everyone with a small momento like a certificate of appreciation or small knick-knack as a thank you.  I'm thinking just the extra time away from the office, and not for training or other work-related topics, might be a nice extravagance.

Those are my ideas for the day... I'm sure others will have more to offer.  Maybe I will too when I start thinking more creatively.

We're having a breakfast networking meeting at work - you could "bring your own" to save money.  It's a chance to network and share information - we're going to have information on hand about objectives, other departments & company info/leaflets as well as information on IQPS membership, supplements & journals and of course secretarial websites.
