The “Gift of Giving”…..
Maintenance and Operations and Construction staff, were able to provide food baskets and gift certificates for eight families for the holidays. For the past month we have been collecting canned goods, money, turkeys, and gift cards for families who needed assistance this holiday season. Over $350 in cash was collected for perishable food items, numerous non-perishables were brought in by staff, and Sue Brewer and her organization Erica Rae’s Kids, Inc. , donated seven turkeys and three $50 gift certificates.
Thanks to everyone who participated and gave of their time and money! Your hearts are big and your pockets deep!
Fire Extinquisher Training at M and O
Maintenance staff had the opportunity to have hands-on training with fire extinquishers on November 21-23. John Casessa from the Aurora Fire Dept. and Peter Hallez from Risk Management gave everyone at Maintenance and Operations an opportunity to put out a fire. John reviewed with everyone the ABC's of fire extinguishers and the importance of always having a fire extinquisher that is new because once they've been used they're no longer viable.

Kevin Williams retires…..
It was with a mixture of emotions we bid farewell to Kevin Williams today. Kevin and his family joined us as we reviewed his years with Maintenance and Operations and the uniqueness he has brought to our department. Kevin is known for the many nicknames he has for many of his co-workers and he is also known for his intelligence. Kevin, you will be missed but we hope you enjoy your retirement and come back and visit!
