What a difference a day makes -- snapshots of fun in the UMW sun
Employee Appreciation Day 2005 started in Great Hall where people gathered to chat and to see displays from many departments such as desktop support, capital outlay, and landscape and grounds. After coffee and breakfast, there were workshops to choose from. Two sessions offered advice for keeping healthy while working at a desk: “Stay Fit While You Sit,” by Dr. Carlos Melendez of Synergy Chiropractic Wellness Center, and “Getting Healthy and Staying Healthy,” by Dr. Ray Beach of Total Health Chiropractic Center.
UMW’s own Joni Wilson spoke to a standing-room-only crowd to teach “UMW Flower Pots, You Gotta Love ‘Em.” The director of landscape and grounds shared not only the secrets of how to assemble artistic plant combinations, but also how to keep them green all summer. Working amid bags of soil and bedding plants, she potted an urn of blossoming annuals that was given away as a prize later in the day.
