Marin HR Forum Luncheon
TOPIC:"GET READY" TRAINING with Tracy Hein Emergency Services Manager, Novato, California
WHEN: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 from noon to 1:30 pm
WHERE: Inn Marin in Novato (Get directions to Inn Marin.)
The key to recovery following a disaster is to get things back to normal as quickly as possible. To do that a business needs its employees to be able to respond and be effective on the job. A business will not be able to do that if they are worried about the well being of their families and their home. Get Ready teaches them how to prepare themselves, their home and their families so they can be comfortable in knowing things are OK should the disaster strike during working hours or should they need to leave to help get the business back up and running.
Lunch is your choice of:
Pan Seared Crispy Salmon with Kalamata Olive Vinaigrette
Seasonal vegetable and mashed potatoes
~or~
Rickey’s LARGE House Salad, Baby Greens, Cherry Tomatoes,
Cucumber, Carrots & Italian Vinaigrette
Please RSVP by noon on Friday, July 11th to Jen Thompson at jthompson@guidedogs.com
FYI: If you do not select a lunch item you will receive the Salmon. In addition, due to budget constraints we will need to charge for the cost of your lunch if you cancel after Friday, July 11th.
