Good morning all. Happy Friday. Looks like a good weekend ahead after we get through some showers/thunder storms this afternoon.

Parking
For those parking in the garage, please assign someone to park in your spot if you are going to be out. Catholic Digest just hired two people and Karen is interviewing for two order processors. This will bring us up to full staff which means parking will once again be at a premium. We’ll need all the available/allowable spaces we can get. Again, please only park where permitted; the bank is getting very rigid about this.

Refrigerators
Please toss out any unwanted or forgotten items in the refrigerators so there will be plenty of room for personal lunches.

Who’s In, Who’s Out
Kathleen, Dan S. and Dan C. will be out today. Valerie will on vacation July 31-Aug 8. She will return to the office Wednesday, Aug. 9.

Alyssa’s last day with us is next Tuesday. We will miss you Alyssa and wish you all the best in your career as a student.

Kitchen Duties
Please check your mail slots today or Monday for the August schedule of kitchen duties.

Happy Birthday Mary Carol!

Parking Reminder
Please remember that we are not allowed to park in the two (left) end parking spots in the upper parking area marked Chelsea Groton Bank. We may park in the next two that are marked Chelsea Groton Bank and the rest of them along that strip at the fence. We are not to park anywhere on the opposite side of the upper level closest to the front entrance. We can also park in the spaces across from the parking garage door and the four to the right of the steps of the medical building. These are the only permitted parking spaces. If no space is available you may park on the street.

Elevator
The elevator isn’t working today but the bank personnel are aware of this.

Front Door
The front door still isn’t working properly. However, it will often unlock after several tries.

Trivia

Invitation
Anyone who enjoys volleyball is invited to join us Sunday afternoons at 3:30 at Esker Point Park for some beach volleyball. For anyone not familiar with this park is it on Groton Long Point Road across from The Fisherman Restaurant (overflow parking is to the east of the restaurant). All skill levels are welcome, however for safety reasons; children will not be allowed to play during actual game play. This is not a company sponsored event, just a group of people who enjoy volleyball and want to give others the opportunity to play as well. If you would like more information, please see Valerie.

Andrea and Cid play volleyball on most of those Sundays at 3:30 at Esker Point. Andrea would like to add that there is no parking fee. There's a snack bar at the beach, an outside shower, and clean rest rooms. Although your kids will not be allowed to play once a game starts, they certainly can play on the beach and in the water with other kids.

401k Meeting
Wednesday, July 12 is the mandatory 401k meeting in the café/lounge. Please choose to attend at 10:00 or 11:00.

Traffic in New London
When leaving for home tonight, you may want to take an alternate route and avoid Bank Street. Sailfest starts today and the area near the train station will most likely be very congested with heavy/slow traffic.
