Where has the time gone?

There just does not seem to be enough hours in the day to get to everything. Like most of you already know... there have been many many many changes in our company here in the last few months. We have a new site manager, new planner scheduler, new IT site manager and various other roles have changed. People have come and gone over the past few months. Here we are already looking toward winter. Fall is almost upon us and we are still striving to get into a groove.

We do have some upcoming events and we would like all who can participate to do so. In the month of October, we are going to have a United Way Fundraiser (maybe a couple of them). If any of you have ideas, please be sure to email either Mike B or myself (Paula) and give us your ideas for a fund raiser. Right now a couple of the ideas for fund raisers we are thinking of doing are: 50/50 raffle. You pay $1.00 for a ticket and at the end of the raffle, who's name is drawn will get 50% of the money collected. The other 50% will go to the United Way. The 2nd idea is a pie in the face... Certain people will volunteer to be the receivers and you can pay so much to throw a cream pie in the face of certain individuals. Please send us any other ideas that you may have to a fund raiser. We will also do our regular pledge cards for those of you who wish to continue to donate this way also. There will be drawings again this year, but we do not yet know what the prizes are.

Christmas will soon be here.. .I know.. i don't like thinking about it either!! We are going to have a Decatur Site Christmas party again this year. It is going to be on December 6, 2008 at The Beach House. As in the years past, ATS will pay for the meal and desserts, there will be a cash bar and a DJ (our own Andy Macari will be rockin the house). We are going to be having some give a ways and a gift exchange for those who wish to participate in this. We hope you all make a point of attending if you are not going to be working.

I'll try to do better at getting this thing updated... sometimes I think I need an admin!! :D
