| Words from
the Chair...
Staff Recognition Week is fast approaching and SAC
members are working hard to pull everything together. Please remember
to sign up for each event you plan to attend so we have accurate guest
counts. Strangely, everything seems to be going along quite smoothly.
This must be due to the fact that I have delegated all the tasks out to
others more capable than I.
For those of you who have put off your taxes until the very last minute,
remember that your big refund can always be donated to your favorite charity,
or used as a great raffle prize at the Staff Recognition Week Picnic!
If you owe money to Uncle Sam then I'm afraid Staff Council can't help
you much, but we will be giving out a free lunch at the awards ceremony
and picnic.
