March also comes with some interesting weather folklore.The saying goes that if the month comes in like a lion,it will go out like a lamb—and vice versa.Since we've had such a calm and pleasant start, let's hope we don't see the flip side of that prediction as the month progresses. With March comes the anticipation of Spring Break.The Clay County School District will be on break from March 17-21,so if you're planning to take time off,please be sure to coordinate with your supervisor in advance.And speaking of March 1.7,don't forget to wear green for St. Patrick's Day— everyone could use a little extra luck from the Irish! 1 This month also brings exciting news for several members of our team.Please join me in congratulating Ashley Taliaferro on her well-deserved promotion to Communications and Public Relations Specialist.Additionally,congratulations to Claire Smith and Courtney Hinson on their transition into Buyer positions within the Procurement Department.We're proud to see our team members grow in their careers. We also have a new addition to CCUA.William Hersey will be joining us as IT Manager on March 24, bringing with him extensive experience from both the U.S.Army and a municipality in central Florida.We're excited to welcome William to the team and look forward to the leadership and expertise he will bring to our excellent IT department. As we move further into March,we also begin preparing for the next fiscal year's budget.Please coordinate with your supervisors and department leaders regarding any budget needs so we can plan accordingly.This also applies to anyone looking to take advantage of CCUA's tuition assistance program—if you're considering enrolling in courses,please let us know what classes,tuition costs,and book expenses to account for in the budget. Lastly,for those interested in our next unofficial golf outing,be sure to sign up! I'll be working to balance the teams based on skill level to keep things both competitive and fun,and I'm also planning a few surprises to make the event even more enjoyable.I hope to see many of you out there.3rd Golf Event RSVP Stay safe.
