🎉Celebrating 20 Years of Alfredo!🎉
In November, we celebrated Alfredo’s 20th anniversary with VATA! Since joining us in 2004, Alfredo’s hard work and dedication have helped shape VATA into the company it is today. To honor this milestone, we hosted a team lunch, reminisced on the past two decades, and gifted Alfredo 2 weeks of extra vacation time and a cash bonus for a family trip—a SoCal visit to Disneyland and Universal Studios or a tropical Hawaiian adventure are top contenders!
Thank you for 20 amazing years, Alfredo, and here’s to many more!
2024 marked some other exciting team milestones! Please join us in congratulating Brandi and Brian for 5 incredible years with VATA and Karla and Jenny for a fantastic first year!
We’re grateful for our amazing team!
❄️ Holiday Traditions ❄️
The Christmas season is all about making memories, and at VATA, we love celebrating this festive time together.
One of our favorite traditions? Our Christmas Lunch! Decked out in our most festive attire, we shared a delicious meal, spread plenty of good cheer, and in keeping with tradition, ‘wrapped up’ our celebration with an epic white elephant gift exchange—oh, what fun! 🎉🎁
Here’s a glimpse into some special ways our team members celebrated the holidays:
🎄 Cristina captured the magic of the Christmas Festival of Lights at The Grotto in Portland with her family (though not pictured—she’s the talented photographer behind the lens).
✨ Andrea also visited The Grotto and snapped a great shot of her son Jaden soaking in the festive glow.
🍰 Sue’s son Jonathan perfected a new cheesecake recipe for Thanksgiving! Check out the photo of him hard at work in the kitchen.
🎄 Brandi and her husband turned their annual tree hunt into an adventure this year, hiking through Mt. Hood National Forest to find the perfect tree—with the proper permit, of course!
Thanks for sharing these heartwarming moments with us, team!
