IT’S TIME!

  • As gorgeous as they are, it’s time for the Lobby poinsettias to move on to other homes.  If you would like to have one of them, sign up on the sheet posted on the bulletin board in the employee entrance.  We have 3 poinsettias, so we will have 3 winners.  The winners will be drawn and notified on Wednesday and we would appreciate your taking them home at your earliest convenience…..and enjoy!
  • The winner of the Seinfeld/Festivus door wrap is Josh Lynch!    

VOICEMAIL MESSAGES

  • This past Wednesday I learned that we were having issues (again) with voicemail messages being cut off.  Friday the Teleplus tech guy was in and did five software upgrades, which is expected to take care of the problem.  When I asked who at 47ABC was receiving the upgrade notices, he said that they don’t send them out because their provider doesn’t advise them…..bizarre as that may sound!  If you find that you are still having issues with messages being cut off, pass the word on to your supervisor or me and we’ll get right on it.

STATION FREEBIES ARE BACK!

  • This week we will give away one of the last of the Crime Watch Daily Flashlight/Gadgets.  If you didn’t win one last year, this is your last opportunity!  You can sign up for your chance to win on the bulletin board in the employee entrance.  Per usual procedure, we will draw for a winner Friday morning and the announcement made in the next Monday Memo.
