Thank You! The 2009 Bio Sci Staff Appreciation Luncheon

Thank You to the Supporters of the 2009 Bio Sci Staff Appreciation Luncheon

Once again this summer the School of Biological Sciences held our annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon for all of our classified staff.  We ended up going with a Vacation in Mexico theme and everything turned out wonderfully.  The luncheon was quite successful and everyone seemed to have a grand time.  The School of Biological Sciences would like to express our thanks to everyone who helped make this luncheon such a success.  We would also like to once again thank our staff for making the School of Biological Sciences a success.

There were two main factors that made this luncheon so successful:

1) The staff volunteers who gave of their time, energy, and spirit to plan and carry out the luncheon.  Here are those people, listed alphabetically: David Danz (MCDB Admin Office), Cindy Figueroa (MGM Admin Office), Steve Franklin (SBS Admin Offices), Gwen Gage (SBS Graphics), John Goutier (SBS Electronics Shop), Angela Kizzee (MGM Admin Office), Ed Kohler (Patterson Mailroom), Amy Lay (IB Admin Office), Suzanne McIntyre (SBS Admin Offices), Sandy Monahan (EEB Grad Program), Sylvia Moore (IB Admin Office), Maggie Mullane (SBS Admin Offices), Tamra Rogers (Plant Biology Grad Program), Scott Schulz (SBS Graphics), Collin Sutton (SBS Field Trip Services), Dena Sutton (SBS Greenhouse), Kim Sybert (Neuro Admin Office), Kathy Thatcher (Neuro Admin Office), Ben Vasquez (SBS Field Trip Services), Keith Watson (BSCSF), and Helen Wormington (SBS Admin Offices).
