Towing Policy

It’s that time of year again. As of October 16, the towing force
will be on the prowl. Although it may be frustrating driving to
the outer reaches of ‘Caperia’ to park your car, try to think of the
benefits of exercise. Those signs saying “No Parking” are
serious, and Payless Towing likes money. If you should meet
that ignominious fate, however, call these sensitive people at
988-4176 and make arrangements to either have someone open
their storage compound (at 3rd and Lloyd Avenue) or have one
of their truck drivers pick you up outside the North cafeteria.
They charge $30 for the first day and $5 for each additional day
and will take cash, Visa, and Mastercard. People with special
parking requirements should contact Health Services at 2964, or
Special Needs (Paul Jones) at 2104, or their administrator.

United Way Campaign

The 1989 campaign is in full swing. Thanks to those 27 people

who have donated so far. As of October 11, we’ve raised $4,550.

Our goal for this campaign is $10,000. The deadline for pledge
missions to Payroll is November 30, 1989. Your

donation will make you eligible for one of many prizes,
including: a Kiff Holland print, a piece of Donna McLaren
pottery, a framed print from Carol Noonan’s Ambleside Gallery,
a made-to-measure computer chair, a get-a-way package at the
Hyatt Regency, $35 in cab fare coupons, a $50 certificate from
the Bridge House Restaurant, new hair style from Salon 323, $25
Cheers Dollars from Cheer’s restaurant, Sunday brunch for two
at the Coach House, or four toning sessions at Millions Hair
Styling and Toning Studio. — Lynne Hamilton

First Staff PD Day a Success

Approximately 30 people learned about stressors and stress,
staff PD at Douglas College, and employee benefits in the first
Staff Professional Development day at Cap. Organizers Sheila
Browne and Eilleen Steele said the workshop was a success and
that they look forward to hearing suggestions on future PD
days. Douglas employee Yvonne Mostert told the audience
about development days there, (the College books an entire day
in May for both staff and faculty to engage in PD activities),
and Ethelyn McInnis-Rankin filled people in on some of the
resources stressed-out employees can take advantage of.
Interest was expressed in a future workshop on the subject.
(How ‘bout a roving masseur for computer-tense necks?). Bruce
Lucas went over employee benefits, always a good exercise
apparently, because even long-time employees had questions
about the complicated system of medical and insurance benefits.
Watch the /nformer for news from the committee about future
plans.
