A NOTE FROM CINDY- CELEBRATE SUMMER!
Winter has passed. Summer is coming. Commencement is hours away. To acknowledge the planet’s sweet slide into the solstice, Friday, June 16, 2017, is officially declared Completely Casual Friday. The RO’s usual practice and high standard of business casual dress will be suspended for the day. Don’t deny your denim! Bust out your mumu! Liberate your huaraches! Friday will be a tribute to the long days of summer and a work-a-day chance to chill…and…DONUTS. Exercise your voting power here!
