All DEC employees were honored during National Telecommunicators Week, April 11-17, with food, themed dress days, prizes, games and more. New this year were candy bags with tickets for a bonus prize drawing for a "Movie Time" gift basket, which was won by Brittany Frederick, and visits from Cell Phone Sally.
DEC welcomes two new supervisors
Dr. Cherise Cobb is the new program and operations (training) supervisor and Amber Wells is the new emergency communications supervisor.
Oh, Baby!
Can you guess the identity of this baby?

Who among DEC employees is this? Send your guess
to Karen by May 17! Make sure that the subject line for your email is "May's Oh, Baby!".

Everyone who correctly guesses the identity of this month's baby will be entered into the random drawing for a prize, and the "baby" will win one also!
April's
Oh, Baby!

Brittany Robinson Perez knew that April's
Oh, Baby!
was Emily James!
Brittany was chosen
at random from all correct entries. Both won prizes.
