The Front Desk at Gingerbread Brunch

The Front Desk staff, usually the ones to check guests in for an event, were able to relax and attend an event themselves...
The Hampshire House's Gingerbread Brunch!

Following a delicious brunch of waffles, eggs benedict,
and an omelet, Eric brought out a gingerbread house
for each receptionist and bags of icing!

After gathering candy from the buffet in the Baker Bar,
the ladies got to work on their houses.


Tracy decided to make a gingerbread version
of the Hampshire House, complete with Eric in his Valet coat.

She was very excited to show Eric her creation,
but not until she was done decorating!

Meanwhile, Sara made a gingerbread cottage inspired by her own home. Well, the apartment number is the same, but the roof might be a little different in real life.

A bit more abstract, Tracy decorated the front of her gingerbread Hampshire House with peppermint stairs, a candy cane front desk, two round candy receptionists checking a yellow Necco coat, and a candy wrapper chandelier.

Lara's house featured Necco Wafers as roof shingles
and Good & Plenty for a brick exterior.

Taylor's house had a beautiful gumdrop garden
with a hearty patch of candy canes!

It looks like everyone had a good time at brunch...

Especially Eric!

Hampshire House Anniversary Gala

Three weeks ago, the Anniversary Gala brought friends, neighbors, sponsors, and staff together to celebrate 40 years of Thomas Kershaw's ownership of the Hampshire House, 40 years of the Cheers bar, and 30 years of Cheers for Children.

It was only natural that Mr. Kershaw took the stage and express his thanks to all those who have helped the Hampshire House and Cheers thrive for so many years.

Tom Babson, now a Beacon Hill resident, played Sam Malone's lawyer on Cheers. He now visits the pub to sign autographs as fundraiser for Cheers for Children.

Jose Arias, Maintenance Supervisor,
has worked for the Hampshire House for 26 years.

Sara Hyatt, Payroll Administrator and Staff Accountant,
has worked for the Hampshire House for 23 years.

Jeanine Callahan, General Manager of Cheers Faneuil Hall,
has worked for Cheers for 23 years.

Bill DeCain, General Manager of Cheers Beacon Hill,
has worked for Cheers for 22 years.

Betsy Toczko, Manager of 75 Chestnut,
has worked at the restaurant for 20 years.

Karim Almechatt, Hampshire House Director of Operations,
has been an employee for 19 years.

Not in attendance, but greatly appreciated:
Fouad Hairoufe, Sous Chef,
has worked for the Hampshire House for 17 years.

Marc Lomanno, Assistant Controller,
has worked for the Hampshire House for 17 years.

Markus Ripperger, Vice President of Operations,
has worked for the Hampshire House for 17 years.

Christine Kelly, Cheers Server,
has been an employee for 16 years.

Also honored was Terri Cannady, Vice President of Finance.

Steve and Bill Honeycutt are also members of the Cheers family.
Steve has been our electrician of record for decades.
Bill, owner of John Brewer's Tavern,
got his start working in Cheers as a teenager.

Of course, the staff wanted to honor Mr. Kershaw on 40 successful years of operation! What could be more fitting than 9 liters of champagne and an equally large cake to match?

Congratulation! Here's to another 40 years!

Cheers 40th Anniversary Weekend
