Rina's Message to the Staff, Sara's Savvy Sources, Our Employees of the Month, Birthdays and Anniversaries, and OT Tips for the month!

Greetings From Rina

Summer’s in Swing       
   
I hope everyone is planning to take a little time to enjoy their summers with their loved ones. Everyone has worked so hard so please don’t forget to take time for yourselves and hopefully some time off! It was so awesome seeing so many of you at the ESOP picnic earlier this month! I can’t wait to continue to host events and get to collaborate outside of work. We had a cornhole tournament and bake off and it was so fun to see everyone get involved. We are excited to continue to get together throughout the year. Now is the time that we reset our schedules and make any changes that are needed going into the fall! If you are needing to switch anything or want to talk about your schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out to your supervisor or director. Our ESOP statements should be coming out by the end of the summer so for those of you eligible for employee ownership and are vested, look out for those! We hope to review how to read them and understand them at the All-Staff Meeting. Wishing you only the best!!  
 
Yours truly,  
Rina
