TFM Celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with a “T.G.I.F”

At the end of the day on Friday, March 18th, TFM Bedford hosted a “T.G.I.F.” Saint Patrick’s Day staff event.  After all, “Moran” is of Irish descent, just another reason to celebrate, adding a little fun and festivity among fellow co-workers. The reception area walls were decked out in sparkling shamrocks, metallic swirls and shamrocks hung from the ceiling, green beads and shamrock confetti were every where, and the Irish music in the background all added to the festive atmosphere. Bright yellow tulips and daffodils on the table were a cheery reminder spring is here!

Thanks to Cassi, our receptionist, we were treated to a rainbow shaped fruit salad with a “pot of gold” (rolos) at the end, along with a very colorful veggie platter with home-made dip. In addition to the healthy selections, we enjoyed hot appetizers by the Puritan Backroom, bacon/cheese potato skins, chicken tenders, meatballs and cheese sticks. The Irish theme, of course called for a selection of Irish beer to make the celebration complete. Throw in a few green frosted mini cupcakes and rainbow M&M cookies to top it off, and a great, green time was had by all!
