A retirement party is a time to express feelings about retirees, their accomplishments, and what they meant to the organization, and to their colleagues.  After years of service, a retirement party is meant to summarize accomplishments, remember memorable moments, and celebrate friendships.  A retirement party should also be fun, so introducing a little humor doesn’t hurt.  No one has to be a comedian, but it can help everyone to relax if a little humor is used.
