Words from the Chair

Greetings!

Plans for a trivia event in September are underway!! Stay tuned for details as they become available. This is a very popular event which was truly missed as part of the Staff Recognition activities so we are glad to be able to offer it once again.

We will be taking nominations for new members for the Council until the end of July. Please consider submitting your name for nomination….or talk to a colleague you think would make a good addition to the Council. We are looking for others who are willing to be involved and have new ideas to add. If you have questions please feel free to contact me or any of the Council members for assistance.

As always, your Council wants to hear from you. Let us know how we can best represent you!.

Warm regards,
Toni Monsen
