UNITED WAY UPDATE
JOHN VANDENAKKER, this year's 1989 United Way Campaign Chairman for the campus, tells us that,
even though we had a low-key campaign, the results have been very gratifying. The total received through
pledges, cheques, the pancake breakfast, the social, and the pumpkin carving came to nearly $7,000.
Hopefully, by the time the campaign officially closes, we will have topped that amount.

USE ONLY EXPO!
GEORGE CLARK has asked us to remind you to please, please, please not use anything but "EXPO"
markers on white boards. Any other felt pen will ruin the boards. Expo markers can be obtained from the
supplies area in Administration.

A BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE LIBRARY!
EVA SHARELL from the Library writes to say that they are pleased to announce the arrival of their longawaited ERIC database on CD-ROM.
ERIC is the database of educational materials collected by the Educational Resources Information Centre of
the U.S. Department of Education. It has two subfiles: (1) Resources in Education (RIE) covering documents
and (2) Current Index to Journals in Education (CUE) covering approximately 750 journals.
ERIC consists of two compact discs for the years 1966-1989, a CD monitor/player and printer. The discs will
be updated quarterly. The system is available for public use and the Library would be happy to show any
instructor

CHRISTMAS IS A COMING AND THE GOOSE IS GETTING FAT..
However, although the goose may be getting fat you might not be, that is if you were planning to order all
your Christmas goodies from the Bakery. DICK KOK writes to say that, unfortunately, this year the Bakery
is unable to take Christmas orders. All Christmas goods will be sold over the sales counter on a first come
first served basis.
Dick apologies for the inconvenience and hopes that next year you will be able to order to all the goodies you
want as the Baking Department should by then be in its new (improved!) premises.

WORDS OF WISDOM REGARDING RETIREMENT
JOHN VANDENAKKER advises us that if you are thinking of retiring, the College operates an Early
Retirement Incentive Plan through which a financial incentive may be offered to employees wishing to retire
before age 65.
Details of the plans are in the VIA and VMREU collective agreements, and all employees can apply for
inclusion in the plan. A similar plan exists for administrative personnel. Anyone wishing to take early
retirement between April 1,1990 and March 31, 1991 must apply in writing to the Dean of Administrative
and Support Services, no later than January 31,1990.
If you wish any more information, give John a call at local 238.
