Good morning all. Hope you had a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. Sick of turkey yet?

We are doing something different for the Christmas party this year. We have decided not to do the gift exchange as we have in the past. Instead, we are doing a Secret Santa in the office for those who wish to participate. In the days before Christmas we will draw names. Starting December 5, secretly leave a small gift for your Secret Santa recipient, such as a piece of candy or dollar store gift, on their desk or in mail slot. (A couple of times a week will be fine.) On December 22, leave your special Secret Santa gift. It should be a lot of fun trying to leave treats without being detected. So if you wish to participate, please email Barbara right away so she can make up the paper slips for drawing names.

Pot Luck Alert (no turkey please)
On Friday, Dec. 9, there will be a company-wide pot luck in the cafe downstairs. A sign-up sheet will soon be placed near the mail boxes. So pull out the cookbooks and start thinking about what delectable treats you'd like to share!

Thank You
A big thank you from Rosanne to all who helped with the kitchen duties. The refrigerators will be cleaned on Friday so please make sure you take your things (other than condiments) if you don't want them thrown away.

Please be aware that the new Oxford health insurance works differently than United did. Andrea went for a bone scan on November 1 (the day the new plan started) and her claim was denied because her doctor didn't get pre-approval for the test. She is appealing the charges but won't know the outcome for at least 20 days. If you had any diagnostic tests scheduled weeks ago, for after November 1, check with your physician about the proper pre-approval needed.

Valerie is working in New York today. Bill is in today and the rest of the week. Kerry M. is out today and the rest of the week. Cassie Nielsen and Diane Lampitt from Harcourt will be visiting Thursday and Friday.
