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
Wednesday, July 11, 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 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Chapin
Lawn. To make it easy to attend, department offices will
close that day from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
to allow staff to attend. (In case of rain, the event will
still take place in the Campus Center.)
Picture a summer picnic with
a spread of deli sandwiches with all the
fixings, an assortment of salads, plus side dishes
and beverages, all supplied by Smith dining services. To
top it off, Mapleline Ice Cream, a huge hit at last year's
picnic, will be back for a delicious dessert.
Don’t
bother packing lunch on July 11—fill yourself at the All-Employee
Picnic instead.
Tickets will not be issued for
this event so no RSVP is required; just show up with a good
appetite.
As in years past,
the All-Employee Picnic provides an opportunity to support
a local nonprofit agency that helps people in need. This
year, picnic coordinators will collect travel-size toiletries
(e.g. shampoo, toothpaste, soap) and other items () for the residents of
Jessie's House. Located in Amherst, Jessie’s House is Hampshire
County’s only shelter offering emergency housing for families.
Among its services, Jessie’s House guides homeless families
toward a future of hope, good health, and a safe place to
call home, and helps them develop the skills needed to establish
sustainable self-sufficiency.
Would you like to be more involved
with the All-Employee Picnic? Volunteers are
needed for tasks such as: "directing traffic," food/beverage
distribution, helping collect donations and other
important jobs. The schedule will be divided into four 30-minute
shifts. To offer your help, contact Kathy
San Antonio, ,
ext. 2162.
See
you there! |
