Coming to our plant as the new Director of Operations, (Plant Manager), is Isabell Martinez. I have personally met Isabell on a few occasions and find her extremely personable and definitely approachable!! Isabell has a lot of energy and I’m absolutely sure this is a great move for our plant and members.
The Hamilton United Way will be doing a donation blitz in the coming weeks. For years many of us had a donation deducted from our pay, that is tax deductible. I’m guessing the last blitz was about 25 years ago. The United Way helps many organizations, people in need, in our community and are looking to us to sign up for a ongoing payroll deduction. $2, $5, what ever you can afford every two weeks will go a long way!! I’ll send more information in the coming week.
Congratulations to our upcoming retirements!!

The great thing about retirement is, you never get a “day” off!! You get them all off!!
