Thanksgiving Monday 2006

Note for Staff,

Melanie will be in charge of the Mission as Acting Executive Director in our absence. We will be available by cell phone for emergencies or questions. I plan to try to blog occasionally and check email daily.

Please respect Mel’s decisions, advice & authority, even when you don’t agree. It is very difficult to be a leader, even when you have a perfect team like we do!

Melanie will be on call for emergencies. This means you may have to shout at her in the middle of the night, or drive over and pour some cold water on her head to wake her up! Her contact info will be posted in the Intern’s office instead of mine.

Jack, Paula, Ken and I will return to work Monday, October 23rd, 2006. I’m not sure when we will be back in town yet, but will let you know. Len will be housesitting for us so I guess he’ll need to know when we’re back!

I will miss you all but expect to have a great time at the City Mission World Association Conference, Rescue College Advisory Board Meeting, and our District Meeting, too! Maybe we will be able to help start the Ethiopian Rescue Mission with Mesfin!

Au Revoir!
Michelle
