RE: Arbor Day Party

Dear Officemates,

I know you'd like to have a Valentine's, or a celebrate-the-neighborhood, or a get-drunk and say-inappropriate-things themed party. But I'd like for us, this February, to have an Arbor Day Party. And here are all the reasons why.

Arbor Day is in April.

Arbor Day was started by Julius Sterling Morton, a Nebraska journalist and politician. He had a big mustache and was balding and had a coat. We could dress like him.

We could make paper hats shaped like leaves for our ENTIRE OFFICE to wear.

There is nothing more festive than a wood-themed party.

We could post friendly beaver cutouts on the walls.

Wood-grain alcohol.

Plant-a-seed.

“When Birnham Wood comes to Dunsinane…”

Optional: come as your favorite bulldozing construction worker.

Optional: come as your favorite treeloving activist and staple yourself to a cubicle.

Optional: bring a powertool and remake the office wood products into a log cabin.

Tree you later,
Audrey
