Volunteer of the Month

Tammy McCulloch has been a weekly dinner cook on Thursday nights for the last 1-1/2 years. She is very dependable and always communicates with staff. She has a welcoming smile and is supportive to the women in Detox. We appreciate her hard work, dedication and great dinners. Thanks Tammy!

Looking back, looking ahead

I posted this just before the holidays and the response was a little anemic. Now that the holidays are over, I'm asking for your help again.

I created another wiki page to get your thoughts about what we accomplished in 2007 and what you might like to see us do in 2008.

Please visit this page and add your thoughts.

CTK

We're looking at overhauling CTK in 2008. Some of the planned improvements will make it much easier to sort through clients with multiple admissions. Documents within an admission will also be much more organized.

I'd like your input about how you think CTK should work. Send your feedback to me.

Employee of the Month for January

I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the hard work and dedication of Paulette Walker. Paulette moved from part time employee and intern to a full time therapist at outpatient this summer. As outpatient experienced numerous changes in staff and a growth in programming, Paulette was always available and enthusiastic. During December, both Dawn and I had vacations, leaving Paulette to keep outpatient running smoothly, a job she handled effortlessly. It is the dedication of employees like Paulette that make this such a wonderful organization to work. --Debbra

New google docs features

From Google:

It's been two months since we launched Google Presentations and already we've got new toys! We've been listening to your feedback and working hard to get you new features as quickly as possible (so keep the suggestions coming). 2008 is going to be a feature packed year for Google Docs, and we are proud to kick it off with these cool new things you can do starting today:



But we didn't stop with these new presentation features - today we are releasing some top user-requested features that we've been working on for several months (yes, even over the holidays):

* Sub-folders, sub-folders, sub-folders...try selecting one of your folders and then choose New > Folder...et voila!
* Rename documents and folders from the Docs home toolbar (the Rename option is now between Delete and More Actions).

We'll do a follow-up post in a few days to talk more about these new features. In the meantime, please check them out & give us your feedback on the user boards.
