From Chairman Mike Bullock: There will be numerous job bids posted in the next two weeks in anticipation of the line speed increase. ALLemployees in their respective departments and classifications are eligible to apply for these jobs.
From the Civil Rights Committee: We will begin the fundraiser and application period for our annual Dr. Martin Luther King scholarship and celebration. We need your support to continue to make this program a success. Our theme this year is “Let’s Do It For The Children”. Due to changes in manpower we will not be doing a car fundraiser this year, but we are asking for your support as we go to two smaller fundraisers. The first will begin next week and someone will win a 47-inch LCD television as a 1st prize; 2nd prize is a laptop netbook computer; 3rd prize is an I-reader. Tickets will be $10 or (3) for $25 and are available from any member of the Civil Rights Committee. Once again, thank you for your support.

From Automotive News: U.S. consumers are holding onto their current vehicles longer, automotive consultant Polk said. This continues a trend that began in late 2008 -- coinciding with a dropoff in new-vehicle sales and the U.S. economic downturn. Consumers on average are now holding onto a new vehicle for 64 months, up 4.5 months from a year ago. "The average length of new vehicle ownership increased an average of 3.7 percent annually prior to the economic and auto industry meltdown in late 2008," Polk said. Since then, that has increased more than 14 percent, "with no signs of slowing down," Polk said Wednesday.
