As part of Staff Appreciation Week 2008, the Staff Advisory Council held an ice cream social at the gazebo between Kottman and Howlett halls on main campus. A similar event was held at the Wooster campus.  The remote extension offices were recognized at the May 2008 strategic planning meeting.

The Staff Advisory Council was joined by the Staff Wellness group who promoted "Your Plan for health" to attending staff members, and gave back massages to some lucky staff members, and the Student Wellness Center.  The Staff Wellness group also provided health screenings to those in attendance.  Attendees were also treated to a live performance  from the band Loosely Strung while enjoying their treats and competing in games of both regulation and jumbo-sized cornhole.

The approximately 125 attendees were able to enter a free prize drawing. The winners were:

Wendy Michel, Extension Business Office:  $25 BP gift card

Cindy McCain, Communications and Technology:  $25 BP gift card

Carolyn Hall, Extension Business Office:  $10 Panera gift card

Julie Townsend, Food Science and Technology:  $10 Buckeye Corner gift card

Linda Neeb, C.W. Ellet Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic:  $10 Camille's gift card

Any Evans, Horticulture and Crop Science:  $10 Subway gift card

Joan Jerauld, Animal Science:  $10 Starbucks gift card

There was a rousing game of OSU trivia played and the answers can be found here.

The Staff Advisory Council would like to thank Dr. Linda Martin for her support, Buckeye Corner, and Coca Cola who generously sponsored the event.
