Last Night in KL

Our final night in KL was a very special one. We were invited to the Steelcase Global Shared Services Annual Dinner. The theme for the evening was "Hollywood Glam" and that is exactly what we saw. Everyone was dressed in their very best and posing for the cameras.

As you can see, this is a very young workforce. The average age of the employees is 26. This evening is set aside each year to honor the work they have done and celebrate the "long time" workers who this year celebrated 10 years.

The event was held at a hotel which ladded to the glam theme for the evening. About 250 were in attendance including one young woman who was married that morning and left her new hubby for a few hours to celebrate with her fellow employees. By the evenings end she was named Ms. Steelcase and along with Mr. Steelcase celebrated her second new title of the day.

There was a full program of entertainment including singing, dancing and very charming emcees. What is truly impressive is the fact that all of the entertainers are Steelcase employees. The acts were varied with a surprise performance by the Leadership Team.

We were treated to a live rendition of "The History of Dance" performed with great gusto if not great talent. It was a fun performance and much appreciated by all.

Ken and I were definitely the "oldsters" at the event, but with all of the youth and vitality around us we didn't mind at all.

Here we are with my fashion consultant, May Lene. She worked tirelessly to take me to almost every dress shop in KL (or so it seemed) and decided that a tradition dress was just what I needed to glam it up.

And what Hollywood night would be complete without a walk on the red carpet and a pose with Oscar (and also our host/dancer extraordinaire Matt Buckholtz).

It seemed the glam was everywhere, even the hotel entrance was in the mood. It was a fun night and we were so happy to be a part of it.
