It was great to see everyone at last Friday’s All-Staff meeting. We had a great turnout—larger than we expected—which we were very happy to see! We hope you enjoyed the cooler weather and were able to take advantage of the information presented by the vendors at the Benefits/Wellness fair. We also heard feedback that you enjoyed the laughter that the “Guys in Ties” brought to the meeting.
Here are links to some of the items that were featured during the meeting:
Paula Vincent & APC Presentation
“Mission in Action” iPad Video Celebration
Opening Photo Slide Show
