Holiday Luncheon
Holiday Luncheon
Our annual holiday luncheon has been scheduled for Thursday, December 17 from 11:30-1.
While purse strings are tight all over, we felt it was important to carry on with our tradition of gathering together for the holidays. We hope that you will plan to join us for the festivities. As usual, Chef Tim and Chef Kristi and their students will prepare our feast.
Due to the budget, we will not be able to distribute turkeys this year. We will have a white elephant raffle and give away door prizes, including Michael’s floral arrangements. Please consider bringing a non-perishable item to donate to the food banks in Denver who are low on supplies.
Thank you,

Recycle Trash Bin

It has been reported that there is non recyclable trash in the recyclable trash bin. Please remember that the trash bin outside of HVAC/Welding is only for recyclable trash. It would be a shame to have them discontinue such a valuable service. Please walk a few more feet down the alley to empty your trash in the proper trash bin.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Update on Financial Aid
The Financial Aid Office has been swamped with applicants this year as the demand for financial aid has increased. The staff has been working hard to keep up with the work load, but in addition, Janice Galvin was recently hospitalized due to illness. Janice is recovering well, but has been out of work for the past two weeks and is not yet able to return. Because financial aid is critical to many students, Tisha Corbett and Kindra Chapman, both of whom have previously worked in financial aid during their careers, have volunteered to help out during this crisis situation. Please continue to direct any questions or concerns to the director of financial aid Kimberly McKay. Thank you in advance for your patience as the staff works diligently to process all of the financial aid files.

Fire Inspection
Dear staff,
A couple weeks ago the fire inspector walked through EGOS and provided recommendations for fire safety compliance.
Department Deans/Director and facilities have been given a list of the infractions and will share that information with you.
Some items that you can take care of right away, are the following.
·Please do not plug extension cords and surge protectors into each other (daisy chain) and then into the wall outlet. In some cases, solutions are easy, and we simply needed to unplug a surge protector and go directly into the wall!
·Please remove all items from classroom doors
·If you’d like to post items near a door, please do so at least 18” from the door.
·Walls may have 50% or less student work (or information) attached to them
·**This is new. We are not supposed to have any cloths or plastic table cloths covering anything in the classrooms unless they have a “fire retardant” label sewn on to the fabric.
There may be a few other unique things to take care of, please speak with your dean/director.
Thanks for helping us take care of these items. The fire inspector will be back around November 15.

·**This is new. We are not supposed to have any cloths or plastic table cloths covering anything in the classrooms unless they have a “fire retardant” label sewn on to the fabric.
There may be a few other unique things to take care of, please speak with your dean/director.
Thanks for helping us take care of these items. The fire inspector will be back around November 15.
