Birthday cake, anyone? 🎂 Each month, at both our Canada HQ and India offices, ApplyBoardians gather to enjoy a slice of cake and celebrate their fellow team members who turned a year older that month. It's a wonderful opportunity to take a break from work and catch up with colleagues.
Yesterday ApplyBoardians got into the holiday spirit with our BookClub’s DIY Christmas ornament-making session! 🎄 They created festive ornaments containing miniature versions of books that hold a special place in their hearts—such as their favourite books of all time or those they read in 2023. We hope that these ornaments will take pride of place in their homes during the holidays for years to come! 🤩
