Cypress Christmas Party 2010

Last Friday, Dec.17th, we held our "annual" Christmas party at Peachwoods/Pasatiempo in Santa Cruz.

After having to cancel last year's party due to the economy, we were long overdue celebrating the good year we've had in spite of these difficult times for so many. Our crew, now 15 employees strong, was there as well as half a dozen girlfriends/spouses. In addition to the festive room and tasty lunch provided by Peachwoods, we enjoyed our Secret Santa gift exchange, employee awards, a mercifully short speach by yours truly, and a new video I put together chronicalling the 15-year history of Cypress Construction.

It was a great opportunity to enjoy each other's company and sit back and reflect on the year we've shared together.

CCS From the Beginning

The year was 1995. I moved to Santa Cruz to go to UCSC and study psychology. Faced with limited options for part-time work, I chose to put the skills that my parents had taught me to good use as a handyman, rather than slinging coffee at Starbucks. And Cypress Construction Services was born.

Last week, I put together a video history of Cypress - "From the Beginning."  Enjoy!
