MONSTER MASH: It’s almost here! Our Monster Mash event is scheduled for Friday, October 29 from 5 to 7 pm.

If you have an organization you would like to invite to participate, please contact Jon Shaner for a sponsorship form. Note: All full-time or administrative staff are expected to work this event unless excused by your supervisor.

If you would like to learn more about the benefits available to you as a part-time or full-time employee, come join us in the administrative office conference room on Wednesday, October 20 at noon. Kristin Hoin will present about our insurance benefits, and Brent Wilcoxson will speak on ways your can save money in your paycheck and for your future by utilizing some of our benefits. If you can’t make this meeting, you can always set up a one-on-one meeting.
