RECOGNIZING A STROKE:
Remember the Three Steps of S.T.R.
STROKE:A stroke is the sudden death of a portion
of the brain cells due to a lack of oxygen. A stroke
occurs when blood flow to the brain is damaged
resulting in abnormal function of brain. It is caused
by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain.
(SOURCE:www.thinkquest.org)
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The
stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when
people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a
stroke. Now, doctors say a bystander can recognize a
stroke by asking three simple questions:
* S—Ask the individual to SMILE
* T—Ask the person to TALK and speak a simple
sentence
* R—Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person
to stick out their tongue... if the tongue is crooked, if it
goes to one side or the other, is also an indication of a
stroke. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these
tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms
to the dispatcher. ☼

RSO Rolls Out New Dress Code
emple Making the best possible impression is paramount when seeking employment
and remains important once you get the job. Even though we would like
to think that our skills and abilities get us the job and allow us to keep it , appearance
does count. And let’s face it, either you make a good professional
impression or the direction of your career may suffer the consequences. Like
it or not, the wrong wardrobe can sabotage your upward mobility in an organization.
According to the June 7 policy, Professional Attire is considered
“Jacket, sports coat, dress shirt with or without a tie, socks, skirts, hose, appropriate
footwear, slacks, and blouse.”
What is Casual Friday Attire:
• Business casual is
acceptable
• No bare
shoulders

• No jeans
the SOPs

and muscle shirts away

out of what is and what
is not appropriate office

The City of Richmond offers each of its employees the
opportunity to participate in the Employee Trip Reduction
Program. This program enables employees to ride the
bus for free! This service is only given to the employees
and can only be used when arriving or leaving work and
other work-related trips. The Employee Trip Reduction
Program also applies to vanpool commutes and will assist
in the formation of new vanpools.
If a registered participant of either program has an emergency
and needs transportation to their home or vehicle
on a day they have ridden the bus or vanpool to work,
RideFinders will make arrangements and pay the costs
for a taxi or rental car for the individual.
For more information, contact Ms. Hubbard in Human
Resources at 646-0820 to have an application sent to
them via inter-office mail. ☼
