Summer is here!
How can you tell?
Torrential rains were followed by historic floods, which have been
followed by oppressive heat and gigantic mosquitoes. But that’s OK – we waited all winter for
this, so we plan to enjoy it.
Aramark Announcement:
Yesterday we received an email from Marion Correctional
regarding Aramark Correctional Services. If you’ve been reading the news, Aramark has
been awarded the contract to provide food services to DRC
facilities, starting in September 2013.
They are in the process of recruiting staff members, and are scheduled
to host a series of job fairs.
Two of the job fairs will be held locally, both at Job and
Family Services/Opportunity Marion, 940
Marion-Williamsport Road, Marion, OH. These will be on Wednesday, July 24 from 10am to 7pm,
and on Thursday, July 25 from 9am to 4pm.
According to the notice, Aramark will be “hiring for Hourly Supervisors, Cook Supervisors, Food
Service Managers, and Directors and General Managers”. Both full-time and part-time positions are
available.
If you are interested in receiving a copy of the
announcement, which includes the other job fair locations, email John Mathew at
copta2003@yahoo.com.
Other news:
During the past several months there has been an increase in
the number of retirees taking advantage of the free lunches at the Wander Inn. For those who have not yet taken advantage of
this offer, 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. The
lunches are offered the first Wednesday of each month from 10:30 until the Wander Inn closes, around noon. If
you find a better deal than this one, let us know.
Marion Correctional is already working on their 60th
Anniversary observance in 2014. Many of
us have old photos or mementos tucked away in drawers, closets, or boxes. Any that might be considered historical in
nature would be of interest to them. If
you would consider loaning them for a while, PNN
will scan the images and return the originals.
Those who were present for the 50th Anniversary observance
received a DVD containing the images and
videos used during the ceremony. A
similar plan is in place for this event.
As the date and details are worked out we will post further information.
For those who haven’t yet marked your calendars, we will be
meeting at Ryan’s in Marion at noon on Tuesday, September 3rd.
See you then!
