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 cannot carry over more than 240 hours vacation/PTO hours from one fiscal year to the next fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year you will lose any hours in excess of 240. It is your responsibility to check the number of hours you have on your remittance advice (pay stub). If you are not sure, you may check with the Business Office. You should check regularly, since leave must be approved by your team leader. Don't wait until the end of the fiscal year!

 

Creek Side Rentals is a new janitorial contract for services done one time per week and will begin on July 1^st, 2009.

 

Everyone at Pride offers congratulations to Travis Hill and Joe Harr who became DD Certified in June!

 

Two priests died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but our computer is down. You'll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as priests. So what else would you like to be?"

The first priest says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle, soaring above the Rocky Mountains." "So be it," says St. Peter, and off flies the first priest.

 

The second priest mulls this over for a moment and asks, "Will any of this week count', St. Peter?" "No, I told you the computer's down. There's no way we can keep track of what you're doing." "In that case," says the second priest, "I've always wanted to be a stud." "So be it," says St. Peter, and the second priest disappears.

 

A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests. "Will you have any trouble locating them?" He asks. "The first one should be easy," says St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies flying with the eagles. But the second one could prove to be more difficult." "Why?" asketh the Lord. "He's on a snow tire, somewhere in North Dakota."
