<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I hope you all had a great Earth Day yesterday. I did. I took a day
off and got a few things accomplished on the home front. Some things
are just hard to get done when you're at work all week. Of course, the
most "Earthy" thing I did was pulling some weeds and buying some
topsoil on sale at Alco to plant my new little rosemary plant and the
tomato plants I haven't managed to dry out or drown in. Some of them
look like they may survive in spite of my brown thumbs. I do best with
plants that thrive on what gardeners call "benign neglect". Ones you
can just leave alone and they look after themselves. I did hear the
first whippoorwill I've heard this year last night, and saw my first
lightning bug, (unfortunately it flew into my windshield), so I'd
better get on with it if I'm going to be brave and plant anything this
year, I guess. <br>
<br>
If you have someone in your area who is doing an exceptional job for
Eastern, you might want to nominate them for Employee of the Month.
You can find the form on our website, or any Staff Council member can
get you a copy. The deadline to nominate someone as Employee of the
Month is the last business day of each month. (The President,
Vice-Presidents, and Staff Council members are not eligible to receive
this award, and faculty has a separate award.) <br>
<br>
There will be a Picnic Committee meeting today at 2:00 in the Library
Conference Room for anyone interested in volunteering to help with the
Employee Picnic. Remember many hands make lighter work, and your help
will be appreciated.<br>
