Letter from Mike Casey to Bill Kostelec (Hand delivered on 11/19)

Summary of reason why the Administration could adopt proposal as written but accepted it in principle:

·        It would be very difficult to arrange the time (3 days) off for all employees of the University.

United Way Update – Neva

·        The people chosen for the United Way Employee of the month are from the people who work in the Administration Building who participate by giving to the United Way.

·        One name is pulled for each month at the end of each year to cover the following year.

·        It is the option of each recipient to either use the parking space or let it sit empty.

Suggestions to help pass the names of the winners of the United Way Employee of the month along to the GU Community

·        Post the name(s) in Spirit

·        Post the name(s) on the web site

·        If the person can not use the parking space offer an alternative prize.

Morale Boosting Ideas

·        Benefits

Speak with Debbie about the possibility of sending out a request for questions regarding medical/dental benefits and then having an open Q & A session with her.
