Fall Picnic Get2Gether Great Success
Our fall GET2GETHER was held on Friday
10/10/08. Please take a few minutes and look at the
photo album of the gathering. We had 45 in attendance,
while that is a lower number than usual, it was a great
time. Our most distant traveler was George Murphy from
Georgia, with a great mix of folks from all over Brevard
County and a great mix of all department’s retirees.
Medical made a great showing, with RN Marge Patt, CMT-C
Willie Parlor, Sherman English (yes he was in medical before
coming to security) and not forgetting Jim Johnson –who also
started in Medical at Brevard and retired as AW from IRCI.
Another Administrator retiree was Dave Hemme, Retired
Warden. Bill Morrell & John Shearer Sr. from
Maintenance, Mike Gooch from Staff Development/Training,
Manly Solovicos, Marge Grasso, Steve Russo, Kenny Terrell
from education. Security retirees included Richard
Puglio, Larry Cruce, John Cummings, Doug Gillis, Keith
Kiser, Tom Komon, Richard Lopresto, Larry Reed, Uwe
Schwersenski, Tim Scott, Jackie Shearer, E.J. Smith, Allan
Spence, Richard Ward, Deputy Bobby Johnson and guests Joan
English, Carol Ward, Sharon Loneg & Onnita Reed.
Pete
Baillargeon and John Shearer II did a great job on the grill
as always, and thanks to the superb organizational skills
and financial arm twisting of Lori Girard and Linda Patricks
we got everyone logged in those participating in our 50/50
draw along with tons of Retiree Door Prizes. Other still
working staff and supporters of our Retiree Group, whom we
love to see included, Captain Bernie Elvin, Captain Robert
Wilson, Lieutenant Don Tapper-Charlotte CI, Senior
Sgt. Amos Lewis, Sgt. Tom Burke, Sgt. Maria
Komon, Lieutenant Chuck Mulligan.
If you
are still working and are interested in helping out our
group in our functions or wish to join us for an activity,
please just email and let us know and we will add you to our
email list and keep you up to date on happenings of the DC
TimeWatchers.
One
of the reasons our retiree group enjoys success is the still
working folks, who come out and volunteer to help us put our
functions on every time we gather.
Since
2003, many of you schedule time off, plan on your regular
days off or just squeeze us in during your lunch hour to
help us out any way you can in supporting our GET2GETHERS.
Many of you contribute generously of your time, money or
resources for our gatherings. There are over 40 of you who
have directly helped us maintain our relationships with our
employee family over the last Five (5) Years!!! We deeply
appreciate all that you have done without special notice or
exceptional recognition. There are probably twice that
many folks who cover posts and work the shift to allow you
to step up and support our retiree group and to those, we
are also grateful.
You know
who you are and so do we……. Thank you for being there for
us!!
Also, I
want to express our deepest appreciation to Mr. Jorge
Hoffman from Edward Jones Investments, who kindly donated 17
beautiful door prize gifts for the function. Jorge is
the financial advisor for several retirees from Brevard and
is always available to consult with anyone preparing to
retire or already retired. He can be reached at 639-8510.
Jorge’s office is located at 3819 Murrell Road, Rockledge,
Florida. “Thanks Jorge for your generosity and support
of our DC TimeWatchers”
Sometimes you may forget that as a
group we are honorary classroom grandparents for Ms.
Kaspar's 2nd grade class at the Florida School for the Deaf
and Blind
I thought I would attach the picture
of "our" sponsored 2008/2009 Second Grade Class Halloween
day
festivities at the Florida School for
the Deaf and Blind.
Everyone had a great time and received
plenty of candy for their "Halloween parade" at school.
Ms. Kaspar reported that everyone
returned to themselves on November 1, 2008 and was ready for
regular classes, including her!
