By the numbers
We all seemed to have a good time at the
College's recent Holiday Party, made possible by our good friends
in Dining Services. Staffers put in an estimated 640 hours
of labor on the event.
And if you're looking to quantify how much fun we
had, here is a list of what Union College employees,
families and friends can consume when we're in a holiday mood:
110 pounds shrimp
25 pounds smoked bluefish
25 pounds smoked salmon
140 pounds beef brisket
1,000 pastries
300 cupcakes
300 gingerbread people
500 spring rolls
500 wontons
115 pounds chicken and assorted vegetables for
Asian station
125 pounds potatoes and onions for potato pancakes
60 pounds assorted cheeses
60 pounds cheese tortellini
30 pounds assorted wursts
120 pounds chicken wings
14 cases assorted fruit
500 pounds ice for ice sculptures
60 bottles wine
2 kegs beer
10 gallons egg nog
20 gallons punch
So long, Steve
Steve Pearse, who for years directed the College's
Dining Services with aplomb, departs for a new job as a
district manager with Sodexho.
He is succeeded by Jim Holdren, who has been
with the College since the fall.
