Greetings!
Thanks to all those who have
already responded to our survey request.
To those who have put off responding, there is still time to do so. After the holidays we will sit down, review
the results, and make plans accordingly.
There have been many
developments since our last post. The
most significant was the promotion of Warden Jason Bunting to a Central Office
position in September. During Warden
Bunting’s service at MCI many positive changes occurred. One that impacted us was the increased
involvement of MCI
retirees. While he was Warden we were invited to
seminars, conferences and Strategic Planning Retreats to make use of our
knowledge and experience. During this
period the monthly free lunches for retirees in the Wander Inn was initiated,
along with special MCI Retiree ID cards.
Although Warden Bunting is leaving for a position outside DRC, his
positive impact on the place where he invested so much time and energy ensures
his positive legacy.
Replacing Warden Bunting is Lyneal
Wainwright. A more detailed description
of her background is available on the DRC web site, but many of us first met
her while she was next door at NCCI.
Although each Warden brings some change of focus and perspective, Warden
Wainwright has informed us MCI’s relationship with retirees will be
unchanged. When you see her, whether in
the hallways or the Wander Inn, please join us in welcoming her.
December is just around the
corner, which is a good indication that MCI’s
Ministry of Theatre Christmas performances will happen before you
know it. The dates are December 12th
through the 15th, with performances daily at 1pm and 7pm. For those interested in attending, please DO
NOT contact the institution for admission.
Instead, follow this link to arrange for a ticket:
There are some
items to note:
- Yes, a ticket
is required for each person, even though it is a free event. That allows MCI to plan how many persons are
present for each performance.
- Even though it
is a free event, they do accept donations to defray the costs of the
production. Do NOT bring
cash. Instead, they accept either checks
or Money Orders made out to "MCI Ministry of Theatre".
- The minimum
age for persons attending the performances is eight (8) years old.
We hope you
enjoy the performances
Charles Daniel, President
