MILEAGE SHEETS   All mileage forms must be turned in to your supervisor by the 15th of the month. The forms are then due into the Business Office by the 20th. Any forms received after the 20th may not meet the payroll deadline and will then go on to your next month's paycheck.

The school at Pride Manchester is asking that everybody save their box tops from General Mills products. The box tops are then turned in and vouchers are received to be used to buy school supplies, go on field trips/activities, or whatever the children desire. There is a drop off spot at the Missouri office and at Pride Manchester.

You are cordially invited to help with an art project to help celebrate Manchester's 20th Anniversary (which you've all heard about).

As part of the celebration, eight statues of children in various poses were given to local artists to decorate. They will be on display at BAGA through the summer months. In October, 2009, there will be an on line auction of the statues, as a fund raiser for Manchester. I am one of the "artists" - (I use that term rather loosely). I'm using mirrored mosaic tiles to convey the process of coming from darkness into the light. So far, there are about 5000 tiles on "David" (as I have named my little guy). The finished title will be "Reaching for the Stars" with David stretching to reach for stars dangling above his head. You are invited to be part of this project! I would love for you to come to Manchester, and place a couple tiles on David by March 17^th. I'm tracking everyone who helps and will list all the names for the Meet the Artist event on 6/5/09 at BAGA. Please come and join the fun!It might be wise to call first to make sure I am here...sometimes, I go home. 223-5600. But, come on down sometime in the next couple weeks and be a part of David's evolution!

Sue Chaussee

I was admiring a picture on my design client's wall when she came up from behind and mentioned,

"That's my mother and her dog." 

"She's very attractive," I said. 

"She was more like a friend, really. I miss her." 

"She's no longer alive?" I asked.

"No. But my mother is."

 

 

When a patient grew dizzy while registering at our hospital, the clerk became concerned. "Do you have vertigo?" she asked. "No," said the patient. "I live just a few blocks away."
