The Dow undergoes major overhaul as it drops Alcoa, Hewlett-Packard, and Bank of America, and adds Goldman Sachs, Nike and Visa. This change marks the biggest DJIA change in decades. David Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the Index Committee S&P Dow Jones Indices, joins MoneyBeat.
For the new entrants, "it would be very hard to argue that these are three companies not worthy of inclusion," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at New York brokerage BTIG LLC. "It's a positive development in the sense that you're trying to make the index better with each passing day."
"When you go out to the bar at night, or you go home and you say 'What did the stock market do today?' the majority of people will go, 'Oh, the Dow was up 50 points, or the Dow jumped 300 points,'" Mr. Greenhaus said. "It's the number that most people, when they think of the stock market, refer to."
The changes, which will take effect with the close of trading on Sept. 20, "were prompted by the low stock price of the three companies slated for removal and the Index Committee's desire to diversify the sector and industry group representation of the index," S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, the company that oversees the Dow, said in a statement.

While their performance has been mixed this year—H-P is up more than 50%, while Alcoa is down about 7%—all three departing stocks have underperformed the broader stock market in recent years.
Goldman Sachs, Visa and Nike all gained Tuesday. Alcoa's and H-P dropped, while Bank of America rose.
"We are pleased to join this historic and significant market benchmark, and remain dedicated to delivering value for our shareholders as a member of the Dow 30," a Goldman Sachs spokesman said.
In a statement, Alcoa said: "The composition of the Dow Jones Industrial Average has no impact on Alcoa's ability to successfully execute our strategy, and we remain focused on delivering shareholder value.
"This decision has no impact on our business or our strategy for providing solid returns to shareholders," Bank of America said in a statement.
A Visa spokesman didn't have an immediate comment. Representatives for H-P and Nike couldn't be reached for comment.
S&P Dow Jones said the moves won't have any effect on the level of the index, which at Tuesday's finish of 1683.99 was up 18% for the year and just 1.5% below its Aug. 2 all-time high.
The Dow is a price-weighted measure, meaning the bigger the stock price, the larger the sway for a particular component, and vice versa. That is different from indexes such as the Standard & Poor's 500, which are weighted by components' market capitalizations.
David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said the methodology for calculating the Dow allows for the companies to exit and enter without affecting the measure's level. The value following the moves will be "100% dependent on what the market does and not on these changes," Mr. Blitzer said on a conference call.
While a big change for the Dow industrials, observers say the impact on the individual stocks should be limited. That is because unlike other well-known indexes, such as the S&P 500 or the Russell 2000, relatively few index-tracking investment products follow the Dow and will need to buy or sell shares based on the changes.
"Despite the popularity of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the press, it's a lot less significant than an add to the Russell 2000 or an add to the S&P 500, because it's just not an index that institutions benchmark to," said Phil Mackintosh, global head of trading strategy at Credit Suisse Group AG CSGN.VX -1.51% Credit Suisse Group AG Switzerland: SWX Europe CHF27.44 -0.42 -1.51% March 12, 2014 12:14 pm Volume : 1.46M P/E Ratio 16.72 Market Cap CHF44.82 Billion Dividend Yield 0.36% Rev. per Employee CHF768,439 03/07/14 Two Companies Delay Hong Kong ... 03/06/14 Broker Dealer Rules Have Teeth... 02/27/14 Credit Suisse: Senate Forcing ...

The Dow move is the biggest since April 2004, when American International Group Inc., Pfizer Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. replaced AT&T Inc., Eastman Kodak Co. and International Paper Co. Numerous changes have taken place since. A year ago, insurer UnitedHealth Group Inc. replaced Kraft Foods Inc KRFT -0.18% Kraft Foods Group Inc.

The committee that determines the blue-chip average's makeup said Kraft's reduced size made it unfit.
In June 2009, Citigroup Inc. was replaced by insurer Travelers Cos., and General Motors Corp. was supplanted by networking company Cisco Systems Inc.
Citigroup was recovering with U.S. government assistance from a brush with death during the financial crisis, and General Motors had just filed for bankruptcy. A successor company, General Motors Co., emerged from bankruptcy the next month.
In September 2008, Kraft Foods joined the Dow, replacing AIG following the government's decision to take a 79.9% stake in the insurance heavyweight. That February, Bank of America and Chevron Corp. had replaced Altria Group Inc., formerly known as Philip Morris Cos., and Honeywell International Inc.

DALLAS (AP) - The man who provides the voice for Big Tex, the giant cowboy at the State Fair of Texas, was greeting people with his usual "Howdy, folks!" in a slow drawl Friday when someone rushed into his trailer to tell him the towering fair icon was on fire.
"It moved quickly," Bill Bragg said of the fire that engulfed the 52-foot-tall structure, leaving not much more than its charred metal frame behind. "It was a quick end."
This year's fair was supposed to be a celebration for Big Tex, marking his 60th birthday. Instead, the beloved cowboy was hauled from the grounds on a flatbed truck two days before the end of the fair in a procession resembling a funeral.
"It's sad to see this happen, but it's lucky no one was injured or killed," said Mike Blucher of Dallas, who was at the fair with his wife, Linda.
The fire brought a temporary end to a piece of Texas culture.
The cowboy with the 75-gallon hat and 50-pound belt buckle always was easy to spot and served as a popular meeting place for people coming to the fair or attending the annual Texas-Oklahoma football game at the nearby Cotton Bowl. But all that remained by noon Friday were hands and shirt leaves on a burned skeleton.
"Big Tex is a symbol of everything the state fair stands for," fair spokeswoman Sue Gooding said. "Big Tex is where my parents told me, 'If you get lost, meet at Big Tex.'"
Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Joel Lavender said Friday afternoon that the cause of the blaze had not been determined.
Some dispatchers took a playful approach to reporting the blaze. "Got a rather tall cowboy with all his clothes burned off," one said. "Howdy, folks, it's hot," another said.
Fair officials and city leaders quickly called for the return of Big Tex, vowing to rebuild the structure. Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings tweeted that the cowboy would become "bigger and better for the 21st Century."
Big Tex's hands, boots and face were made of Fiberglas, Gooding said. The clothing that burned had been provided last year by a Fort Worth company, she said.
Gooding speculated that the fire could have started in mechanical workings at the base of the structure and that the metal skeleton "served as a chimney." The skeleton will be evaluated, and a new one will be built if necessary, she said.
Stanley Hill, who supervises a food stand that has been located near the structure for 18 years, said he noticed smoke coming from Big Tex's neck area. That quickly turned into a blaze that engulfed the structure's fabric covering.
"Once it started burning, it was gone," Hill said.
The structure was removed Friday in essentially the same way workers put it up every year - with a crane that slowly lowers it. Only this time, the steel skeleton was covered with a tarp.
Big Tex was actually built in 1949 as a giant Santa Claus for a Christmas celebration in Kerens, 60 miles south of Dallas. Intrigued by the idea of a towering cowboy, the State Fair paid $750 for the structure, which debuted as Big Tex in 1952.
Big Tex is inextricably linked to the State Fair. The State Fair website is www.bigtex.com, and visitors to the site see their cursor turn into an image of Big Tex's head, clad in a cowboy hat. The fair's Twitter account features the cowboy's image as well.
"You know somebody's a true Texan if you say 'Big Tex' and they don't look at you like you're weird," Gooding said.
Perhaps no one is closer to the giant cowboy than Bragg, who has served as the voice of Big Tex the last 11 years. Working inside a trailer a few yards from the base of the structure, the 65-year-old radio engineer reads from a script while his voice makes Big Tex's mouth move automatically.
As the crane moved into position to remove his old friend, Bragg was philosophical, saying he'd already been told he would be welcoming people to the fair in the same fashion next year.
"My job is safe and secure," he said. "They're telling me, 'Take the rest of the day off and we'll see you next year.'"

I too have an HSBC bank account and have thought of opening a dollar account. As you already have opened one - what's the monthly charge for it & do you get charged for each cheque/ transaction you pay in? Also - as the dollar seams to be getting weaker and weaker - surely the dollars in your dollar account are depreciating compared to the pound? These are the reasons why I decided not to open a dollar account. Your affiliate earnings may be a lot more than mine though.
That's the best way. I have just opened a US dollar account at my local HSBC bank in the UK.

Duc de la Rouchefoucauld
One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: You will outlive the bastards.
Edward Abbey
"Our dead never forget this beautiful world that gave them being. They still love its verdant valleys, its murmuring rivers, its magnificent mountains, sequestered vales and verdant lined lakes and bays, and ever yearn in tender fond affection over the lonely hearted living, and often return from the happy hunting ground to visit, guide, console, and comfort them."
It is when we all play safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity. It is when we all play safe that fatality will lead us to our doom. It is in the "dark shade of courage" alone that the spell can be broken.

Sometimes I wish I were a little kid again, skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts.
On the whole, "organic" illnesses of the body are viewed as a misfortune over which the victim has little control. Not so for "mental" illnesses. These diseases of the mind become diseases of the "self." We (our "selves") can distance ourselves from our "bodily" illnesses: "my leg is broken" or "my heart is failing." But, because of mind-body dualism, our mind is our self. "My mind is sick" is not differentiated psychologically from "I am sick." We cannot distance ourselves, take a detached view of our minds: we are our minds. When a disease affects brain function, the afflicted person and those around him feel that the "self" must be somehow in control of the disorder of "self."
Jean M. Goodwin
Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or broken heart, is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one.

I've followed the McLaren team ever since I was a small boy, and it feels unbelievable to finally be a part of it
Jenson Button
Quotes of the week
McLaren have confirmed the signing of Jenson Button on a multi-year deal.
The reigning world champion has ended his association with Brawn GP to join up with fellow Brit Lewis Hamilton from next year.
Despite his individual success, as well as helping to secure the constructors' crown, Button's future at Brawn GP had been in doubt for some time.
The 29-year-old had failed to agree terms on a new contract, while the takeover of the team by Mercedes-Benz earlier this week only increased speculation that he would be moving on.
"It's always a difficult decision to leave a team when you've been there for so long. But life is all about challenges - and, most important of all, it's about challenging yourself," Button said in a statement from McLaren.
"So, although I won the World Championship with Brawn GP last year, and I'll never forget that, I was always adamant that I wanted to continue to set myself fresh challenges.
"So that's why I've decided to join Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. You can't help but be affected by this team's phenomenal history.
"McLaren is one of the greats of world sport, and its achievements and list of past champions read like a Who's Who of Formula 1 - Emerson Fittipaldi, James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen and of course my new team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
"I've followed the McLaren team ever since I was a small boy, and it feels unbelievable to finally be a part of it."
For the first time in F1 history, one team will feature the two most recent winners of the drivers' title, while two British champions have not been paired together since Graham Hill partnered Jim Clark at Lotus in 1968.
Button, who was given a guided tour of McLaren's factory in Woking last week, admitted he is excited about working alongside his compatriot.
"From a personal point of view, it's also a great pleasure to be joining a fellow British world champion," he added.
"Lewis has achieved an incredible level of success in a very short period of time, and he's a wonderfully gifted driver who has earned the respect of every Formula 1 driver.
"I'm sure there's plenty that we can learn from each other, and I'm really looking forward to using our combined knowledge to push the team forward.
"Also, I think it's fantastic that we'll be forming an all-British line-up.
"I know that we both fly the flag with pride, and I sincerely hope we can make the whole of the United Kingdom, as well as Vodafone McLaren Mercedes fans across the world, proud.
"Nothing means more to me than to be able to represent my country, and I'm looking forward to both of us painting Formula 1's circuits red, white and blue for many years to come."
Team principal Martin Whitmarsh believes McLaren now have the fastest pairing on the F1 grid.
"Everybody at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes is absolutely delighted to be able to welcome Jenson to our team," he said.
"It has always been our policy to employ the two very best possible drivers - and, in Jenson and Lewis, we feel we not only have the fastest pairing on the 2010 grid, but also the two most complete, professional and dedicated drivers in Formula 1.
"Moreover, I'm confident that we'll be able to successfully balance and harness Jenson's and Lewis's complementary skill-sets.
"Our engineers are already looking forward to working with Jenson, and I'm convinced that such a strong and dynamic driver line-up will make us an even more complete and competitive operation. Now we have to provide Jenson and Lewis with race-winning machinery."
Whitmarsh also revealed that Button's decision to join the team was not made for financial reasons, adding: "I want to make clear that Jenson's decision to join us was in no way motivated by money.
"We'll be paying him no more than he could be getting elsewhere, and that fact is a reflection of not only Jenson's belief in Vodafone McLaren Mercedes but also his desire and ambition to build on the phenomenal results he achieved during the 2009 season."
Good news for Button. I feel a little let down by Brawn. Ross could have put his foot down on the plan to have 2 German drivers at Brawn. Dont think Mclaren will compete next year. Fancy it to be Brawn and Red Bull again. My money is on Vettel for the championship. But do not rule out a refreshed Alonso with Ferrari!! Think best Hamilton/Button can wish for is the odd win and podium. Dont think the car will be good enough to challege for the championship.
Posted 11:09 19th November 2009
Mclaren (financially) have done the right thing. Lets look at money, because we can all relate to that. Paying �6m to a world champion who is British, to be brought together with the previous world champion in Lewis Hamilton is nothing short of genius. On a marketing scale alone that �6m will pale into significance when the merchandising wagon starts to roll. Did you look at the TV screens last season? All you seemed to see was the red of Ferrari... imagine that to be the silver of Mclaren and you have yourself a classic 'Beckham at Madrid' scenario... He made more money that he cost through shirt sales alone worldwide. Then add together the sponsorship deals Mclaren will covet with the media attention going ballistic over what is the most exciting lineup for years. Casual viewers will tune in again, the column inches will bulge and the entrance gates will swell. F1 will be global again. The American market may FINALLY wake up to the best motorsport on the planet (and not just a bunch of muppets going round in circles) and i'm sure that world peace will ensue! Its justa shame that Ross Brawn doesn't move to Mclaren too.... THAT would be the ultimate dream team lineup!
Posted 10:47 19th November 2009
The fact that Jenson has switched to Mclaren for money tells you everything. I stick by what I said earlier. Holly Greaves and Lee Duggins, to answer your questions...yes I do watch F1...do you? How can you sit there and defend the Mclaren? For example, It was common knowledge the Ferrari was poor this year. They didn't score in the first 4 races and stopped developing their car at the start of July. Mclaren on the other hand had new updates in Brazil, yet only finsihed ONE point ahead when it was all said and done. Now tell me the Mclaren was a good car! Also, there is an agreement whereby Mclaren will buy back Mercedes' 40% share by 2011 hence the name staying on the cars. Mercedes have already dealt with Brawn and will be on the grid in 2010. There is no 2015 notice agreement between Mercedes and Mclaren. As for Jenson, he won 6 of the forst 7 races this year with an aero package nobody else had, and he scored 28 points out of 80 till the decider in Brazil which is POOR. He's won 7 races in 10 years and you call him good?? What a joke. Sorry but 2010 he will be exposed by Lewis. If you said 2 seasons ago Button will drive for Mclaren, you'd be laughed at!
Posted 00:04 19th November 2009
Good move Jenson, what a great move for McClaren with a very marketable team pairing. Sponsor's will be clambering to sign up and because money buys speed in this sport our Brits will do well. Its still going to be close next year with Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes locked in battle! Can the brilliant Hamilton, probably the quicker driver counter the silky smooth Button with no refuelling? Role on March 2010
Posted 22:50 18th November 2009
What a fantastic year we have ahead of us! This is motor racing history in the making. An all British driver line up. I can't wait for Silverstone, the home support will even better than usual and I can't wait to see Lewis and Jenson fighting it out fof the World Championship. This is going to re-ignite passion for the best sport in the world!! Bring on March 2010...
Posted 15:52 18th November 2009
Well done Jenson Button.You had no option but to leave Brawn.Mercedes made it clear from the outset that they wanted two German drivers.Now we have got two British drivers at McLaren.Same engines.Lets look forward to what looks to be a very exciting season.Who will come out top the financial power of Mercedes or the engineering skill of the Brits at McLaren.No doubt and I would put a small wager on it that the Colours of Brawn/Mercedes will now change to silver like the old German teams.
Posted 15:39 18th November 2009
I think Jenson has made a huge mistake here Lewis will be there number 1 driver as he always has been, plus he has left a fantastic techinical mind in Ross Brawn. In my personaly opinion he wont win a thing as Lewis will get the best car out of the 2 and i doubt lewis will like having number 2 on his car and i doubt if Jenson is winning the title lewis will be willing to help out i feel another Alonso on the cards he will last 1 season and then leave to a car where yet again he wont be able to compete for anything
Posted 14:22 18th November 2009
Don't be such muppets, Jenson a sell out, how long has he spent with that team don't forget it was Honda before that, he and the team I'm sure have worked tirelessly on creating a car that is going to be competative, Last year he wins the title and leaves the following season, he's no sellout this has the buy out being a problem written all over it, new owners i.e mercedes, perhaps they are not that bothered in keeping Jenson and want a total German line up, it wouldn't suprise me, its been no secret that mclaren have been after Jenson, so why not move? no better time to move if you ask me, moving to probably the best team in F1, best line up and all british sounds like a british drivers heaven to me, and a pay rise!!!!! give me one good reason he should stay. NO Sell out Dam good business sense, gives him the best chance of retaining the title.
Posted 14:13 18th November 2009
Button always said he was a championship winning driver. He proved that this year with a quality car, the first decent one he's had. With Brawn's takeover, they now want a German pairing. Button has done the right thing. And if you were offered a �6 million a year contract, would you turn it down???
Posted 14:10 18th November 2009
I wish people would give the guy a break! He's world champion for crying out loud and we should be proud of that. Yes he had a far superior car to start with, but there's always a quick team at some point of the season. Also, he stayed at Toyota for years and never even nearly competed, so I don't know how you can say he's not loyal!! So he wants to drive for what he thinks is going to be the best team next year, and that's a British team and British drivers, big deal! Ah, and there's the big pay cut he took at Brawn so he could drive too! I'm fed up with this country moaning at our sportsmen when they don't win, then when they do they have a go to!! Comon Jenson, Lewis and McLaren. Prove the doubters wrong!!
Posted 14:05 18th November 2009
Why moan about him chasing the money?! It's his livelyhood you idiots. If the chairman of Halifax got offered a few �m pay rise to become the Chairman or Nationwide, he would do it wouldn't he?!! Everyone of you would want the extra �3-�5m a year!
Posted 13:56 18th November 2009
If I was a F1 driver, looking for F1 Championships, 2 things to look for: Team principal who knew what he was doing that being Ross Brawn with out doubt, with a major sponsor and engine supplier, thus being Mercedes Benz, that package alone would pull me in, why wont you drive in that situation..MONEY MONEY MONEY.... Jenson you have no chance in Lewis home, with out the double diffuser you would not of won the championship, and who designed that little toy ROSS BRAWN, what did Mclaren deliver, as Lewis said a bustbin, you silly silly boy... current world champion, yes future taxi driver in waiting no doubt.
Posted 13:54 18th November 2009
Who on earth is old Jenson trying to kid. All we have heard for the past 2 weeks is about how Jenson wanted a contract worth double the one he had. Who made him waht he is - Ross Brawn is the man and he must feel sick to the back teeth - within weeks of the end of the season his driver has walked off a signed for another team. Perhaps he knows how good he really is and needed to cash in quickly. Lets face it the only way he was going until Ross Brawn came along was backwards. Perhaps Brawn will be better off without Jenson - perhaps thats why they didnt offer him the contract he was after.
Posted 13:52 18th November 2009
I think Jenson is a real sellout and will fail at Mclaren, he should show more loyalty to the team that has taken him from nobody to world champion..
Posted 13:52 18th November 2009
Bally Singh, you obviously dont watch much f1. Mclaren have a rubbish car??.. im sorry but who was the highest points taker in the second half of the season..?? Hamilton, and what car does he drive..? Mclaren, nobody came close to lewis in the 2nd half of the season, Brawns had the poor car, they only ever did well in high temperatures, im sorry but relyin on the weather for your car to perform well is hardly brilliant.
Posted 13:51 18th November 2009
At last two great British drivers in a British-based team = victory
Posted 13:47 18th November 2009
Jenson, you did this once before with willaims and Honda, that was a massive mistake, as this is, You have left the best designer of a car and team Principal in Ross Brawn, who have just been back by Mercedes benz, Ross Brawn masterminded the Ferrari decade of dominance with MS, so this isnt about Titles, its about money, not only that you have jumped into Lewis Hamiltons back yard without any toys to share, this time next year you will be washed up with no where to go, such a shame you had such a chance with Ross and Nick Fry, but now no chance what so ever, enjoy No 1 on your car this coming year it will never happen again while you sit in the second seat at Mclaren. I wish you well but you jumped, nobody pushed you so dont cry wolf when you leave Mclaren just as Alonso did, because nobody will feel or have sympathy for you, as they did in Hondas slump. Good luck........!
Posted 13:42 18th November 2009
Well done Jens! - Looking forward to seeing you next year in the new Dream Team with Lewis c- you could be the next Torville and Dean!!! And just remember its better to have loved and lost than never to have watched "Lost in Space" at all. Good luck... Regards... Roger the Dodger.
Posted 13:35 18th November 2009
Absolutely great news i cannot wait for the new season to start. I have to be honest i believe that in the same car Hamilton will have the beating of Button but still great news for all F1 fans - British team, 2 British Drivers and the last 2 World Champions!!! Roll on next year.
Posted 13:31 18th November 2009
Jenson, You're a sellout. Why don'y you just be honest and say the move has nothing to with "challenges" and it was about the money? I suppose the good thing that comes out of the whole thing is Lewis Hamiltion will expose you for the driver you really are, as everybody knows he's in a different class to you. If you think I'm wrong here, ask yourself, you have won a championship (albeit with a diffuser advantage), you have a championship winning car, the best technical director in Ross Brawn and yet you still leave for Mclaren, who have a terrible car, a team built around Lewis and now Mercedes have withrdawn technical expertise.....the answer is MONEY.

Title | Detection of intermittent sewage pollution in a subtropical, oligotrophic, semi-enclosed embayment system using sterol signatures in sediments |

Abstract | A field study was conducted to investigate sewage inputs at popular anchorages in Moreton Bay, a sub-tropical, semi-enclosed embayment system in Southeast Queensland, Australia. Sterol biomarkers were quantified in sediments revealing low levels over a spatial and temporal scale consistent with a shallow, oligotrophic, highly dynamic, sand dominated system. Despite low concentrations (ng/g) and high variability, relevant sterol/stanol pairs remained well-correlated and were successful in identifying an unexpected once-off pollution event from a point source at Moreton Bay Island. During this incident, the main human sewage biomarker, coprostanol, was found at a concentration of 1.4 μg/g, with a coprostanol/5α-cholestanol ratio of 3.2. Other than this one incident, sterol levels were consistently low even when anchorages were at full capacity. Thus, sewage from recreational vessels was found to have very little effect on sediment quality at anchorages in Moreton Bay and Gold Coast Broadwater. |

How to throw a great retirement party – It's always great to go out with a bang. Reaching retirement is a mile stone that many workers look towards and many people who are close to retirement kind of fear! One way to make it all go well is to throw one hell of a party.
How to throw a great retirement party
So how do you go about throwing a great party for a retirement? There are a lot of elements that make a great general party. Of course free drinks, a great location and a great group of friends make for a great party.
Retirement specific I think there are some things that can really help.
First off this kind of party is about you or the person who is retiring and things should center around that. Photographs from the years at the company are an awesome talking point and maybe wheeling in some of the company characters from the years gone by.
A theme from the era the retiree started work could also be cool or the era you they were born. 45-65 years ago the world was a different place.
For the venue you should try and pick somewhere that has been iconic for the working career. It could be a pub that was often used or even just in the office!
Speeches are important too, everyone wants to make sure they hear some history, some sentimental stuff, antidotes and of course embarrassing stories! The embarrassing stories are very important!
Just make sure the retiree (even if self organised) is the center and the career is celebrated. Retirement parties give people a worthy send off but also help cement the younger workers and make them look forward to what is ahead.
Please share any stories or tips you have.
