Virginia Retirement Hybrid Plan & Mardi Gras!

 From Jud: 
I encourage all employees being paid through the City (not @Work) to make arrangements to attend one of these sessions. Note:  When filling this out, for “employee type” we are all a “political subdivision employee.” 

This will be very important information for all employees who are in the Virginia Retirement System.  If you register, please let Jeanne or Christy know so we can be sure the desks are covered.  We may have to do a little switching, but we want to be sure everyone has a chance to attend.

 

For those who are in the Virginia Retirement System’s Hybrid Plan or those who may be interested in opting-in, a presentation will be held at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in Abingdon, on Tuesday, February 4, 9:00-11:00 a.m. One Partnership Circle, Rooms 103 & 104, Abingdon, VA 24210 .  You must register for this workshop by clicking the link below or visiting www.varetire.org.

Mardi Gras Time!!

Yep, it's time for food 'n' beads 'n' food 'n' masks 'n' food 'n' -- well, who cares, as long as there's food? We'll celebrate on the real Mardi Gras day, which this year will be Tuesday, March 4.  (It's always a Tuesday-- "Mardi Gras" means "Fat Tuesday," the last day to indulge before Lent.) There will be a sign up sheet in the kitchen so we'll know what folks are bringing.  Cajun food would be nice but not required, especially for folks who do not like things spicy.  Dress in Mardi Gras colors (yellow, green, and purple) and let's have some fun! More details later!
