We finally figured out what happened to summer!

It disappeared!


As a follow-up to our last post, we now have information to share on MCI’s cookout for retirees.  Here are the arrangements:


Date?  Thursday, September 21, 2017. 

Time?  From 5pm until 8 (?) pm.

Where?  It will be held at the FOP Park just outside of Caledonia (5327 Harding Hwy E, Caledonia, OH 43314). 

Cost?  There is no cost involved, except for bringing your favorite side dish and non-alcoholic beverage.  Hot dogs, hamburgers, and appropriate accessories will be provided.

Reservations?  Absolutely!  Call Kathy Hamilton (740-382-5781, ext. 2210) by September 19th to confirm attendance, so an appropriate amount of food can be prepared.  Spouses and/or significant others are also welcome, so make sure they are included in your reservation number.


Below are the other items from our last post that are worth jotting down.


#1 – As a result of our survey last year, our next gathering WILL BE on Tuesday, October 3rd. 

The place?  The Marion Diner, 1565 Marion-Waldo Rd, Marion, OH 43302 (in front of the mall on route 423). 

The Time?  The “official” starting time is noon, but feel free to come when you can, and stay as long as you want.  We have their south room to ourselves, will be ordering from the menu, and can take our time.


#2 – Don’t forget the free lunch available at MCI the first Wednesday of each month for retirees.  Although started during Warden Bunting’s tenure, Warden Wainwright has confirmed that these would continue. Lunch is available in the Wander Inn, known to most of us as the Officer’s Dining Room (ODR), from 10:30am until around noon.  Did we mention it was free?


There is one last item to mention:  email addresses.  The size of our group has grown, and the cost of mailing notices has risen.  What money is donated to maintain the mailings needs to be spent wisely.  If you have access to the email address of a former co-worker, please let us know.  We promise not to sell the email addresses, or send endless requests for money.  We just want to continue the notifications in a cost-effective manner.

See you at The Diner.
