Greetings!
As you might have guessed,
we have closed our survey for our twice-annual luncheons. We appreciate all the input and suggestions
relating to where and when to meet, and how often. The “short answer” to the survey has our next
luncheons scheduled for:
Tuesday, April
25, at noon, at the Marion Diner
Tuesday,
October 3, at noon, at the Marion Diner
The overwhelming choice was
to continue meeting twice per year. The
first luncheon would be the last Tuesday of April, which this year is the 25th. The second luncheon would be the first
Tuesday in October, which this year is the 3rd.
The most popular dining place for our group proved to be the Marion
Diner, 1565
Marion-Waldo Rd, Marion, OH 43302.
In general, the feeling was
that both weeks we have traditionally met offered too many competing
events. The first week of May featured
many MCI activities celebrating Corrections Employees. This included the Service Awards Banquet
among other activities. The past several
years MCI has invited retirees to participate in these events, which at times
conflicted with our luncheons. The
luncheon usually held the day after Labor Day posed even more schedule
conflicts. It is a holiday week, during
which many were traveling. It was also
the same week as the Popcorn Festival and Hardin County Fair.
It is hoped this adjustment
will permit more retirees to attend, but this isn’t the last time the topic
will be raised. We intend to revisit
this after the fall luncheon. So, if you
have thoughts and suggestions, please share them.
BTW – Don’t lose track of the fact that MCI continues to
invite us for a free lunch on the first Wednesday of each month. It is hard to find a better deal.
