Happy New Year 2013

Happy New Year 2013

Hope all is well with you and your family this cold and icy January day. A few updates and information for you to start the new year.

Children's Relief Nursery http://www.crn4kids.org/ . We are still collecting items (http://www.crn4kids.org/get-involved/in-kind-donations ) and money for the Children's Relief Nursery for our holiday giving. Mindy Brooks at the 1900 Bldg. (7th floor) has a big pile and I am picking it up on Thursday, 1/17. I will do a final pick up at my desk (PDX Bldg; 9th floor) on Tuesday, 1/22. Make Monday, 2/21 a Day of Service rather than a day off and clean your closets and/or shop for CRN. Owen, my mom and I will be shopping with the cash and gift cards donated plus our own contributions. http://www.crn4kids.org/get-involved/in-kind-donations  

Lunch: Lora will send out a lunch meeting via outlook. Probably Laughing Planet or Cafe Yum for a casual lunch.

Happy Hour: I will send out a notice for another (early) happy hour sometime in March - trying not to hit all the Comp Plan meetings or spring breaks.

Speaker: Darcy is working on a speaker for April.
Please let us know any topics, speakers, events, etc. you would like to see in the new year.

Vacation lunch #2

Pasta salad: whole wheat noodles, spinach, olives, shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, tuna, with yogurt mixed with light Italian dressing. And since it is vacation - white wine spritzer.

Lunch on vacation

Sautéed leftover pizza makings (mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes) and added poached eggs. Nice what you can make on vacation and while family is already at the beach. And yes, that is a Bloody Mary. I already ran 5 miles; and it's vacation! /Courtney
