Judi is on vacation this week. Any ideas on how I can get into trouble?? I'm pretty sure you do! I did promise I would not blow anything up so that's out... other suggestions? Any big mischief should probably be saved for after the board meeting tomorrow so they can't fire me right off. :)


I will be launching the new site over the weekend or beginning of the week. For techie reasons you don't want to know, THE SITE WILL GO OFFLINE for up to 2 days and will need some tweaking and repairs once it gets to its new destination. Please be patient next week and plan ahead. Your center managers can always access the calendar system so please contact them directly if you need to sign up or delete a shift. I will be covering the airport for Judi.

Remember, once the new site is up - www.nhgsa.com/gsa will no longer work. Go to www.nhgsa.com. Spread the word!

Thanks,
Kelly



GSA Louise Lachance named an Outstanding Woman by 95.7 WZID
On February 16th, 95.7 WZID honored the winners of their "20 Outstanding Women Contest" at the Women's Expo at the Radisson and our own GSA Louise Lachance was named one of the 20! Congratulations! Louise was a member of the Sprint Class of 2002 and has 1059.5 hours of volunteer service as a GSA.
 
"My grandmother volunteers her time to help out her church, the elderly, and spends a lot of time with her grandchildren." That is how 10-year-old Paige describes Louise Lachance, her grandmother, retired as an Administrative Assistant with the New Hampshire Community Technical College in Manchester and focused her time on her family and the needs of her community. Louise helps out with clothing and food drives at her church and knits hats and blankets for newborn babies at the Elliot Hospital in Manchester. She does "chores" or errands for the elderly, and she is also the best grandmother ever to Paige, Coleton, William, and Mary!
