Chaparral 2011-2012: Classified Council Corner

CLASSIFIED COUNCIL CORNER
by Jenny Mcmahon, Classified Council President

As the new President of Classified Council, I would like to welcome you to the fall 2011 semester. I have worked at GCC since 1983 as a student worker, an hourly worker, and then as a classified employee. I remember Jonnie Weaver, who worked in the Senate/Governance/Guild Office, asking me to become a member of Classified Council. I have been a member ever since.

It will be hard replacing Henan Joof, who has been our President for the last four years while working at GCC and pursuing his educational career at USC. Henan is currently working on his doctorate.
 
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the 2011-2013 Classified Council board: Henan Joof, vice president; Wendy Grove, secretary; Patricia Chamroonrat, treasurer; Merrilee Ahaus, Kit Crawford, Leticia Estrada, Olga Tovar, and Nancy Weeks, members-at-large.
 
I hope you enjoyed our first event, the composting lecture given by Mr. Tom Brady from the City of Glendale. It really was earth moving.
 
Here are some of our fall and winter events:

• Lecture by Wendy Fonarow about Halloween and the Halloween Office decorating competition
• Tupperware Fundraiser
• Winter See's Fundraiser
• Holiday Party at Acapulco on Thursday, December 8

We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events! And we thank you in advance for supporting our fundraisers, which will help towards our student scholarship fund.

If you have not joined Classified Council, please do so. Membership is only $7 per year.

Members participate in the end-of-the-year Classified Council Picnic at no charge, receive a discount for the annual Holiday Party, and receive a birthday card with a lottery ticket!
