Take
a Couple Hours Off for Smith Employees Picnic
It’s
the perfect excuse to get out of the office or leave your
job behind for a couple hours in the middle of the week.
 On Tuesday, May 31, all Smith
staff and faculty are invited to eat delicious food, schmooze
with fellow employees, move to the music and take part in
some games at this year’s All-Employee
Picnic from noon to 2 p.m. on Chapin Lawn. And to make it
easy to attend, department offices will close that day from
noon to 2 p.m. to allow staff to attend. (In case of rain,
the event will still take place in Cutter-Ziskind dining
room.)
Picture a summer picnic with
a spread of burgers and dogs and all the fixings, an assortment
of salads and fruit, plus side dishes and beverages, all
supplied by Smith dining services. Don’t bother packing
lunch on May 31—fill yourself at the All-Employee Picnic
instead.
Tickets will not be issued for
this event so no RSVP is required; just show up and show
your Smith ID at the food buffet line.
As in years past,
the All-Employee Picnic provides an opportunity to raise
funds for a local charity. Therefore, voluntary contributions
will be accepted for a donation to the Food Bank of Western
Massachusetts, a Hadley-based agency that gathers, grows
and stores food, then distributes it to those in need through
food pantries, homeless shelters, childcare centers and other
programs. The Food Bank of Western Mass. relies on donations
to enable it to feed more than 100,000 people every year.
You can be part of the All-Employee
Picnic. Volunteers are needed for tasks such as: checking
IDs, helping with food/beverage and favors distribution,
helping collect donations and other important jobs. The schedule
will be divided into four half-hour shifts. To help with
the picnic, contact Kathy San Antonio, ,
ext. 2162.
So, go ahead, take a couple hours
off on May 31. See
you there! |
