Week of 12/28/09 through 1/02/10

I was on vacation most of this week.  I was in the office Tuesday and Thursday, but I had only one meeting with anyone outside of City employees.  One was a meeting with Multnomah County mental health leader Joanne Fuller and multiple community mental health services providers, with Commissioner Saltzman and Chief Sizer.  The unexpected snowstorm canceled a scheduled meeting with Fayetteville, North Carolina Councilor (and Benson High School alumna) Kady-Ann Davy.  I also had my regular monthly meeting with Commissioner Fish.

Several citizens stopped by the office Thursday, December 31 between 3 and 5 p.m. for our end-of-year open house.  Thanks to my former co-worker, Sadie Hanks R.N., who came in to volunteer during that time, and is our new regular helper covering the front desk during our Thursday staff meetings.

  Our office was open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day except 12/25 and 1/1.

Dinners at Home: ALL.  How sweet.  I hope you had happy times with friends and family this week, too.
