- ‘I wasn’t sure who to contact, so I thought I’d start with you.’ If you have ever sent an email or message with that caveat, this session is for you. While Budget & Accounting both deal with numbers, they are not the same thing. Whether you need something done or just need to ask a question, a better understanding of who to contact in these distinct offices will help you get it done in a more timely and efficient manner.
- Voter ID Refresher

- New voter ID laws are now in place in North Carolina, and there are a lot of grey areas and exceptions that could be confusing. This session will go over the new Voter ID laws, what IDs are valid, what poll works will look for when you go to vote, what happens if you can’t get a valid ID and other what-if scenarios for how to prepare to cast your ballot.
- Casual Run Along the Greenway

- Hosted by Dave LaVack

Faster folks can run ahead while others focus on fundamentals – and having fun doing it! Everyone has to start somewhere, so don’t miss this chance to join your colleagues and have some fun while doing something healthy for your body and mind.
