May Awards Luncheon
Carol Black and Heather Paetsch |
Human Resources would like to combine the classified and administrative awards luncheons. It had been suggested that awards be presented at the picnic, but Carol thought the events were too different in their purposes. Sharon received positive responses to her email about the idea. Recent attendance statistics for the two luncheons indicate that the Cat would be large enough for a combined luncheon, but there are alternatives at that time of the year if attendance gets too large (Goudy or Cone Fieldhouse). Combining the two events would allow a larger budget. Heather Paetsch has talked to the two “of the year” committees about the possibility. Responses from both were positive. Council felt that this is a good idea and would like to try it. |
