<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
It was really nice to get some RAIN over the weekend! So many of my
plants looked totally dead, with not a sprig of green in sight on them,
I was really glad to notice some little green shoots coming out on my
clematis vines on the arch at the entrance to our yard. Maybe some of
our plants will be able to recover enough foliage to give us a little
fall color this year after all. That's always one of the big
attractions in this part of the state, with people coming from the tree
deprived western half of the state and various other areas to admire
our beautiful fall colors. <br>
<br>
Classes are well underway, but "the fun week" as I call it, is still
not quite finished. The Mud Bowl, one of the students' favorite
activities of the whole year, has been postponed twice now, due to
circumstances beyond the control of our Student Services staff. There
are plans to reschedule this sometime soon, as soon as a suitable date
can be pinned down, so don't give up on it yet. Third time's charm!<br>
<br>
Our Cyber Cafe will be closed until further notice, as we are having
freezer repairs done, and we will be concentrating on keeping our main
line operating smoothly. <br>
<br>
Anyone having an Employee of the Month nomination they'd like to
present to the Staff Council should do so this week. These may be give
to any Staff Council member, or deposited in the "Suggestion Box" in
the mail/copy room in Choctaw Hall, before the last Friday of the month
to be eligible for the current month. (Staff Council members are
Helen Scott, Sheryl Marmon, Anne Hester Brooks, Gail Wilson, Lynn
Hackworth, and myself.) I know we have some excellent employees at
Eastern, and recognition of an exemplary performance would be a great
way to encourage the nominated individual as well as motivating others.<br>
