MaySecret Pal.
The Secret Pal program starts again June 23. If you enjoy giving and receiving gifts and cards, this is the program to sign up for. It is an opportunity to give and bring a smile to a co-worker. We try to remember our secret pal during their birthday, anniversary, (work and personal), busy time at work or just to wish them a great day! The form is available in the Welcome Center or the Co-op office. You may also print it from the website. Deadline to turn the form into Violet Mosser is June 10.
