Someone else suggested maybeone day a week everyone could wear a name tag and thatway people could put a name and face together so everyThursday became Friendly Name Tag Thursday! It‟sbeen going on for quite awhile and seems to help folkslearn one another‟s name without the embarrassment ofasking someone you‟ve been talking to and sitting with forweeks what their name is. So this is a FRIENDLY reminderand an explanation of how Friendly Name TagThursday came to be, so be a little friendlier on Thursday,wear your name tag and learn a new name or two. Whoknows? You just might hear your name said more frequentlybecause someone needed a reminder of what itwas! If you need a replacement name tag due to loss ordamage please contact Erin Scott.Have You Heard?We Have aPing-Pong Table!The Ping-Pong table is located inthe passageway at the ElevatorLobby.
