Commencement at Lakeland

This past weekend Lakeland Community College had it's 40th Commencment (graduation) Ceremony. The program has become so big, we have to have the program outside under a LARGE tent! The tent is large enough to hold 3000+ people. We had somewhere between 2800-2900 people show up.

I have the responsiblity of supervising all of the ushers and crowd control. Dealing with almost 3000 guest, students, and VIPs keeps us super busy for about 4 hours. Lots of running around. Things turned out great and people had a good time.

We did such a good job, my boss thanked everyone with gifts. The female co-workers in the office received flowers with a thank you note. My boss couldn't figure out what to get me, so I got a very creative Fruit basket!

Pictures of the tent before the ceremony and my gift basket are below!
