Here are some photos from the Christmas party. We all had a great time!

Office Temperature
Today, Bret facilitated a meeting between us and Chelsea Groton, New England Mechanical, and ENCOR Services to discuss heating and air conditioning in our office. The building management assured us that boilers have been replaced and equipment repaired. Additionally, a representative of Chelsea Groton's facility management department will be in our building every morning to check to see that the heating units are working properly. All of these efforts should insure our comfort during working hours.

Christmas Party
Friday is our Christmas Party at the Mystic Hilton.
The office will close at 11:30 am.
Brunch will be served at 12:00 noon.
Hope to see everyone there!

Pot Luck
A pot luck luncheon for all employees is scheduled for Wednesday, December 19. There is a sign-up sheet on the table near customer service. Please take a moment to review the choices and select something you would like to bring. We’d love to have everyone attend.

Movie at 12:00
George brought a DVD for us to enjoy on our lunch hour, if we so desire, on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
Andrea will have it set up in small Conference Rm. to play while we eat lunch at 12:05 p.m. and repeated at 1:05 p.m. Tuesday and the same times Wednesday if there are people who want to view.
It's about the 12,000 year history of Niagara Falls. See a tightrope walker walk above the deadly waters, and a 63 year old schoolteacher go over the Falls in a barrel. Do they make it?
Ride along the Niagara via the eye of the camera and over the falls into its swirling depths if you dare!

Christmas Tree
Please remember to bring in a Christmas ornament from home. Our tree is looking pretty sparse now that most of the gift tags have been taken. There are a few left; please consider taking one and brightening up a needy family's Christmas.
