Summer? Almost!
Really?
Since the official start of
spring we’ve had days near 90, high winds, drenching rains, and nights in the
40’s. What great diversity, unless you
sell sunglasses or pool memberships.
Since our last post we’ve
enjoyed the monthly offerings of the Wander Inn,
and one of our twice-yearly gathering at Ryan’s. They were great opportunities for seeing
familiar faces and sharing updates. In
the case of the Wander Inn lunches, it was also
an opportunity to see how things have changed, and how they haven’t. It also was refreshing to be recognized and
welcomed by current staff members.
During the June 5th gathering Warden Bunting even served our
meals at the tables. That is an
experience hard to turn down.
“What is the Wander Inn”, you
ask? Retirees will recognize it as for
the former Officers Dining Room. What is
the attraction?
It’s free!
Warden Bunting has extended
an offer to all MCI retirees of a free lunch the first Wednesday of each
month. All that is needed is to call the
Warden’s Office no later than the working day before to have your name added to
the gate pass (740-382-5781, extension #2210).
On your initial visit they will prepare an MCI Retiree badge for you,
eliminating the need for gate passes for future “free lunch” days. A better offer than this will be hard to
find.
In view of the free lunch
program, we have some important dates for your calendar.

In closing, I’d like to
thank everyone for their assistance during my time as President of our
group. Together we’ve welcomed new
faces, increased our use of technology, and enjoy an enhanced relationship with
our former employer. Due to personal
reasons I have stepped down, but am pleased to announce that Charles Daniel has agreed to take over
as President. He has already started,
and is excited about making this the group you want it to be.
To close I’ll borrow a
familiar quote from the advertising world:
“Thanks for your support!”
Robert Ferguson
