26 Feb - 4 March 2023: Weekly News Report - PAO

Another great awesome week behind us!  Although Sophie is on RL duty call, the group is going strong, and activities are being done, we do miss her tho, and wish her safe returns soon!

1. Story Telling - Safe Disposal of Medication

Thank you to Micheala James who shared her Real Life experience in Pharmaceutical Industry, by teaching us the Safe Disposal of Medication.  It was a very informative Story telling, and I am sure everyone who attend will think twice before throwing away those old labeled medication!

2.  PUB Night - Tea Party

I am not certain if there was only "tea" involve in this party - but, I did got reports in that the PUB night was again one for the books!  There were candy involve, so I am sure, everyone was on a sugar rush...hence the confusion if there really was Tea involve or not.

3.  Disaster Drill

Another successful Oil Spill Drill was performed, the "glitches" has been fixed, and seems like, we will soon be able to clean oil Spill in record time with these Drills!  

4.  Weekly Strategy Meeting

Some Concerns were raised and some important points were raised.  Important is - Respect each other, enjoy what you are doing in SLEC.  We are all here to learn, contribute and to have fun.  Remember to fill in your activity reports - remember these activity reports will help Management to see who will get Awards at the Monthly Ceremony!
