Mike's Monday Memo

Here’s what’s up for the week of March 6, 2006:

	1.	Spring Break -	Just a reminder that Spring Break will be the week of March 25 through April 2, 2006.  Warm weather is just around the corner.
	2.	Next Board Meeting -	Our next Board Work Session is tonight, Monday, March 6, 2006.  The meeting will be held in the Essexville-Hampton Room at the ESC building starting at 4:00 p.m. Staff is always welcome.
	3.	Personal Focus –	Cyclist, Lance Armstrong is a great individual example of maintaining focus. His clarity of focus enabled him to overcome cancer and achieve unprecedented results in the sport of cycling. When he began training after his cancer treatment, he watched as mothers pushing jogger strollers passed by him. Two years later, he won the Tour de France. His focus helped him use his situation as motivation rather than discouragement and enabled Lance to win the Tour de France seven consecutive times.                                                            –Sticking to it. Lee J. Colan
