OFFICE TIDINESS REMINDER
We have been having issues with kitchen odors. Just a friendly reminder that the kitchen garbage is only dumped 3X per week and the desk side bins are only dumped 1X per week. So, please be thoughtful when tossing certain food items in the trash. If it is a food item that will turn quickly like fish, meat, etc. please deposit in an outside trash bin. Also, a friendly reminder to clean up your dishes and the sink drain when you rinse your dishes. Please don’t expect someone else to do this for you. SIDE NOTE: Templeton (the office rat) was caught last week and we’d like to ensure that his family and friends find another home and steer clear of the RO.
FOOD DRIVE
Food Drive ends on February 28, so you still have time to donate to the food box, money donation or payroll contribution. The food box is located in A312 and money donations can be given to Mimi in A312 and a tax receipt will be provided. Remember as little as $5 a month can be deducted automatically from an employee’s paycheck and the amount is taken out before taxes. Note: $1.00 = 4 pounds of food.
