If the Staff Association 2025 end of year party was going through an annual MERIT recognition exercise, all of you would have been awarded an outstanding performance qualification for sure!

All the objectives were met and even beyond:

• Outstanding music from the CERN Music club bands: 3 hours of exceptional sound with Valeria Galmarini and Claudio, Miss Proper and the Moving Targets and a closure with the DJ Set by Jeremie and Nacho.
• Outstanding food and drinks from Novae Restaurant 1: Ad hoc festival quality offer for the pleasure of all tastes.
• Outstanding participation from the members of the personnel, their families, and the retirees: More than 1,500 responded to the invitation, filling up Restaurant 1 from 6PM to 10PM in a great atmosphere.

More than just a party, this was the one event to celebrate the closure of the 70^th anniversary of the Staff Association and with it, the end of year 2025, a moment of sharing, when the workload sometimes makes us forget that we are all colleagues serving the Organization together.

The Staff Association wishes you and your families a happy end of the year and a well-deserved holiday.
