We have information to share
as the calendar slowly swings toward summer.
The first is appreciation
for those who were able to attend our luncheon at the Marion Diner on April
25. Judging from the laughter and
conversation, a good time was had by all.
You might recall that our next similar gathering used to be held the first Tuesday in
September. As a result of the survey
taken this winter, our next luncheon will be at the Marion Diner on Tuesday, October 3rd. Mark your calendars now.
The second thing to share is
an update on MCI’s Correctional Employee Week activities. This was formerly held the first week in
May. For years MCI retirees were encouraged to attend any and all
activities. As you may have guessed,
changes have occurred. We’ve been informed
the Director’s Office has changed these activities to the second week of May
for the entire Department. At the
institution level this disrupted the required planning, scheduling, and
purchase schedules. To simplify the
process, MCI decided to focus its activities this year on current employees for
all phases of the process.
What does that mean for MCI retirees (me) ?
It means MCI retirees will not be part of the process this year. As you can imagine, no one is in a position
to discuss future arrangements, as they are still adjusting to this year’s
changes. As we receive additional
information on this topic it will be posted.
There is one last item to
mention: email addresses. We appreciate the efforts of everyone who has
provided an email address for future communications. It might not sound like much, but every
little bit helps. As mentioned before, if
you have access to the email address of a former co-worker, please let us
know. We promise not to sell them, or
send endless requests for money. We just
want to continue the notifications in a cost-effective manner.
Enjoy the rest of Spring.
