FACILITIES in focus August 2011 Tina Riley, PWC October 2011 Earth Week is coming this April Recent Facility Employee of the Month Award Winners Robert Gallahan, HVAC Winter Vehicle Safety Tip Fall/Winter 2011 Issue Earth Week 2012 is a time to promote awareness and appreciation for the earth’s environment, sustainable living and earth awareness. Earth Week is also known as National Green Week 2012. Environmentalists all over the world will work to raise awareness on how to recycle and conserve energy this earth week! Earth week(s) will fall on both the week of April 16-22nd and 23rd-29th. The weeks will officially be Earth Week-Think Global (in tandem with International Week) and Earth Week-Act Local (in tandem with Mason Week). Sustainability is coordinating a number of events, speakers, and programs across all campuses here at Mason. We would love to see some Facilities-related and/or sponsored programming (e.g. a green architect, an electric car manufacturer, etc). Please contact the Sustainability office to assist with setting up these events if you’re interested. This winter before you hit the road, make sure you have your safety kit packed and ready. Items to include in your kit: *Jumper cables to restart your engine *Cat litter or sand for tire traction *Shovel to scrape snow away from tires *Ice scraper to clear windshield *Warm clothes (gloves, hat, boots, jacket) * Blankets to keep warm inside the vehicle *Flashlights with extra batteries *First Aid kit (include needed medication) *Food items and portable can opener *Water bottles for each rider and pets *AM/FM radio with batteries *Fully charged cell phone and charger *Flares or reflective triangle *Make sure your gas tank is full If you find yourself stranded, be safe, don’t run your car continuously, stay in your car, put on your flashers and set out your flares or reflective triangle, call for help and wait for it to arrive.

FACILITIES in focus Fall/Winter 2011 Issue Facilities Celebrates the Holiday’s Once again, the Facilities department celebrated another joyous holiday season with a gathering of good friends, good food, good music, and good door prizes! This year’s celebration included some of the best food to date: turkey, ham, dressing, salads, vegetables, chips, bread, all kinds of desserts, and cold drinks! Plenty of door prizes were won by a number of attendees and four lucky winners helped divide up the 50/50 drawing, holiday music played, Dr. Merten attended and spoke to the group at what was his last official Facilities Holiday Party as our beloved President (however I believe we will be seeing him at future celebrations as well). As we all know, none of this could happen without a lot of help behind the scenes. This includes volunteers that planned the event, purchased food, cooked food, set up the tables, chairs, lights, music, and also helped clean up! So as not to leave off anyone’s name lets just say a big ―THANK YOU‖ to everyone that had a hand in making this year’s celebration a huge success!
