Many folks aren’t aware of all the work that goes on behind the scenes at Xenophon. During our winter break, while we are not running lessons, staff are working as hard as ever. Administrative tasks are caught up on, fundraiser execution and prep are going full bore, instructors are planning for next year. The list is endless. Once in a while, we all need a break. This past Monday, the Xenophon staff stepped out to have some holiday fun at Glowfari, the beautiful light display at the Oakland Zoo. It was a glorious evening with fabulous displays. If you have not gone, we highly recommend it! And just so you know, you are never too old to sit on Santa’s lap. Of course, his lap was not quite big enough for all 10 of us. It was a much needed reprieve, complete with a Merry-go-round ride. We really “let our hair down!”
