Instant Recognition- A name has been drawn from pool in December for Keystone Award
prize. The announcement of the drawing is pending confirmation from last known supervisor
as to whether or not employee is returning in January. Discussed producing a list
of Keystone recipients and holding a drawing for prizes but would require a solicitation
of donors to ensure adequate quantities of prizes.  Sandi would like to donate a new
coffee pot and candy filled cup to the cause.  Trina will check with Linnea Starks
to see if she is able to assist in creating a letter to hand deliver or send to potential
donors since Carol Carter will be out of the country for awhile.  We further discussed
the monthly e-mail that would go out to the college announcing the reward recipients.
A person to send out the notice was not identified. 

Spring EOLT Calendar-Brent confirmed that EOLTs responsibility is to gain attendance
of a particular class.  It is then the colleges responsibility to reserve all necessary
equipment, room, and ensure that set up is conducive to class/instructor requirements.
CGCC is set to host 4 events.  These are:

02/07   Meet on Common Ground  (Course Category-Diversity)
   9:00 am-12:00 noon   SC140-144
02/28   Managing Performance: Setting the Stage for Employee Success (Course Category-Supervisory)
   1:00 pm-5:00 pm   SC140-144
03/23   OSHA: The Supervisor's Role (Course Category-Supervisory)
   8:00 am-12:00 noon   SC140-144
06/08   Exploring Comfort Levels (Course Category-Diversity)
   1:00 pm-3:00 pm   SC140-144

A suggestion was to rotate responsibility per event to ensure that the reservation
met the needs of the host/hostess.  No further action was taken.

SEE Your World-Delivery of gift donation in December went well.  Pictures were taken
and some were shared during the all employee meeting.  Sandi shared the project with
the employees at the all employee meeting and there have been good responses in support
of the project.  The next steps for implementing a possible work day and additional
service opportunities would be to check into liability issues; check to see if the
childcare requires fingerprinting of visitors/volunteers; and, confirm any other responsibilities
and/or concerns.  Sandi will call the childcare director, Mary Swisher.  Brent will
check with contacts at district.
 
Spring Picnic-The picnic is set for 4/21 and will hopefully be re-energized by trying
a Luau theme.  Sandi has checked with Brenda Croteau to find out whether or not there
would be any difficulties in holding it at the campus.  We have been cautioned to
ensure that we have committees for set-up and clean-up so that it is not assumed that
the M&O group would be responsible for the event.  There is only one possible event
set in the PAC that may conflict.  Sandi will make calls to confirm.  Sandi will reserve
rooms and grounds.  The group discussed holding possible children and adult activities
such as ping pong, limbo, sidewalk chalk, face painting, beach balls, learning a Hawaiian
dance, etc.  The picnic/luau could be prefaced to promote employees wearing their
Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts, and sandals that Friday.  A Hawaiian shirt contest
could be held at the luau for the ugliest, most authentic, most colorful, etc.  Food
served at the picnic could be themed as well.  Discussed the possibility of having
menu items conducive to the luau theme and will work with Aramark to have enough BBQ
sandwiches and we could ask the employees to bring fruit and veggie trays.  We may
want to eliminate soda and substitute Hawaiian punch and bottled water instead.  We
will look into obtaining coconuts, pineapple and possibly poi for the event.  Margie
has discussed the volleyball tournament with Tom and Floyd.  We currently have one
set of poles and Floyd can make another set.  Tom will obtain nets and balls.  Brent
has agreed to check with the Williams Fitness Center to see about using their nets.
Margie and Sandi will take a closer look as to how to set everything up.  All are
in agreement that we will want to keep the gathering together and not have the activities
separated on campus grounds.
