Mike's Monday Memo for September 11, 2006

1.		September 11, 2001-	I would ask that as you read this you take just a moment to think about the Americans that lost their lives on this date five years ago. I would also ask that you say a prayer for the young men and women who are fighting the war on terrorism.
2.		Out-of-State Travel REMINDER –	No staff member can attend a conference or travel out-of-state without prior board approval.  Please make sure that you complete your form well in advance of your requested travel.
3.		Great News –	We are off to a wonderful start. The reason for this great start is because of our staff. Each of you does a great job. Keep up the good work.
4.		Baby News –	Nancy Kolb is a grandmother to a baby boy, Daniel Kolb. Daniel was born on September 8. He weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 19 inches in length! Congratulations to Nancy and her family! A new baby is always a nice addition to a family.
5.		Adult Education –	The Adult Education hours are Monday through Thursday from 1 – 9:30 pm and Friday from 8 – 4:30 pm.
