Greetings!
Happy snow day - again! The snow isn't going to slow us down this week. We believe the roads will be in good shape for Burnt Ends Ribbon Cutting today at 11AM, and are grateful to our plow drivers' efforts across the region. You can check the Facebook Event for any schedule changes, but we will be there for the free sweet tea, discounts, $10 pulled pork sandwich special, and to enjoy Downeast Maine Magazine's 2022's Best New Restaurant!
Tuesday we will have our 2022 Annual Review free, interactive via zoom, and a great opportunity to hear about our successes and work in 2022, and our plans for 2023. Wednesday night Uplift LA will be at Otto's Pizza for trivia and fun. If you want a quick primer on how new laws and practices might be affecting your HR role, don't miss the great presenters for HR Thursday. We end this week with casual networking at Women's. Networking. Lunch. on Friday. With all that is going on, I hope I get to see you!
In service,
Shanna
