8. Social Committee dues are still being collected. About half the staff has paid their dues. The Social Committee does many wonderful things for all of us. We need your support because you benefit. Social Committee dues are $25 for the year.

9. It appears that maintenance may begin the carpet replacement in the media center earlier that planned. We will keep you updated. It may necessitate the closing of the media center for up to a week. I am waiting for word about this from Kim Sutton.

10. Certified staff should remember to put October 2 on their calendars. This is "Make It, Take It" night and attendance is mandatory. This item has been in Bee Lines for several weeks and on the master calendar since mid-August. There should be no questions regarding attendance.

11. It has been a very long week. Make sure to get out of here early so you can enjoy your weekend with family and friends.

12. Mr. Cokley was out sick yesterday and custodial services did not provide a substitute. Mr. Hummings (Gus) did the priorities which are bathrooms and pulling trash. There is the likelihood that your room may not have been swept. That is because he did not have enough time to get to it. Hopefully Mr. Cokley will be back with us today.

13. Thanks go out to all of you. Even with all the subs we had in the building yesterday, the day went very smoothly. Thanks for your contribution to the calm.

14. Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else.
Ogden Nash (1902 - 1971)


The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.
B. F. Skinner (1904 - 1990)

The nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people, they think it's their fault.
Henry Kissinger (1923 - )

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
Rene Descartes (1596 - 1650)
