RED day

May 19, 2016

skillsskillsHope everyone enjoyed RRC’s first RED day!  It was a great day spent with fellow co-workers as we met many others from NDC and our other campuses too, such as downtown and the rural sites.  As a large corporation,  it’s hard to get everyone together to enjoy a day together as one. Friday was a great success on that!

Cheers and a big THANK YOU to those who made the breakfast.  THANK YOU to the many people who put on the presentations and the staff that organized everything and cleaned up afterwards!  Job well done!

Even though the weather didn’t co-operate, the food trucks were a great treat too!

If many felt like I did when I left Friday, they felt very warm inside and thankful for a day to put the pencils down and computers away for a bit and reflect on us and how we can make a better work place environment and home life, whether it is simply by sharing the words “Thank you” or a simple action of kindness or realizing that laughter is the best form of medicine for everyone.  So next time you see someone having a hard day, laugh and you’ll see how contagious it really is!

Thank you to everyone who attended and hope to see everyone again next year!
