Aflac Meeting
Just a reminder that a rep from Aflac will be here today. I sent an email with details to everyone earlier this morning.

Picture Day
We would like to set up a "Bayard Picture Day" for Wednesday, April 15. (Bret has approved the idea.) Pictures will be taken in the library. Those who will not be in that day will have their pictures taken at a later date. Since the new email program has the option of including a picture in your contact files, this will be a nice way to get some current employee pics.

Stable Value Fund Conf Call
Stable Value funds have generated a significant amount of press in recent weeks. As such, we at RPS have arranged for the managers of the Federated Capital Preservation fund to provide an overview of stable value funds in general and the current status of this fund in particular.
We'd very much welcome your attendance. Please see below for additional information.

Insurance Meeting
On Wednesday April 8, 2009 Natalie Ryan from Aflac will be here from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the small conference room for open enrollment in a new supplemental insurance program. Enrollment in this program is optional and I will have updated information before she is scheduled to be here. Note: this is taking the place of the Colonial program. Because this is being offered as a pre-tax payroll deduction, everyone must take a moment to stop by and see Natalie even if you are not going to take the coverage (a waiver needs to be signed).

Time Cards
If timecards could be turned in Thursday (April 9th) it would be greatly appreciated. Remember Friday and Monday are both holidays.

Free Binders
Bobbie Thomas sent us a box of flexible NoteBinders compliments of Meade and herself. Please come take a look and help yourself; they are across from Sue. Thank you Bobbie!

Easter
Just a reminder that Bayard New London is closed Friday and Monday for the Easter holiday.
