Global Warming, my eye!

Hi, gang

Hope everyone survived the white stuff last week and is currently safe, dry, and sporting a clear driveway. Here are a couple of reminders while I've got your ears.

1. As our current contract winds up at the end of February, we're hoping to wrap up all our statistical details so please remember to let us know when you start work (of any kind, duration, or nature) or begin schooling/training towards a career goal. We celebrate any and all steps that help you put food on the table and keep you trucking towards your preferred destination. If you're not sure whether we've received your information previously, please send it anyways and we'll double-check.
Muchas gracias!

2. I hope you've all marked your calendars for Thursday, February 28th as we'll be welcoming you all back for our Compass Alumni Reunion from 6:30-8:30PM. A chance to meet some interesting new folks, catch up with familiar old faces, and marinate in the positive energy of the Yellow Womb. I'll send word about RSVP-ing next week.

3. The networking website is ripping along nicely as we continue to add more fine and fascinating folks every week (currently at 88 proud members and growing). I highly recommend reading the story of Tascha's inspiring journey over the past year to anyone doubting the power of staying positive, open-minded, and on purpose. And recent discussion items regarding local NVC practice groups, a particularly practical book for mid-career job changers, and where you can hear the amazing Steven Lewis speak locally in March have helped keep things current and interesting. Add a whole host of recent job postings (including Environmental Science Educator, Software Developer, Coop Coordinator, Film Festival Organizer, and Community Kitchens Garden Project Coordinator), a heads-up about an upcoming Hiring Fair, and tons of freaky, flashy, and fantastic pictures submitted by various members and I hope most people are finding the site a useful place to check out from time to time. My latest goal is to have over a hundred people aboard by reunion time so if any of you have lost your original invitation and would like a refresher, please feel free to send word.

Keep your toques firmly affixed and your tongues clear, all.
