Westport Winery will host one of its popular murder mystery dinners on Wednesday, October 31 at 6pm which is Halloween night. The Murder Before Midnight features the unlikely marriage of 1960s posh aristocracy with hippy pig farmers. Half of the victims and suspects are Kennedy era wannabes while the other half sport tie dye and peace signs. Everyone is invited to dress for the fun and the holiday as they see fit. A few guests may volunteer to join the cast, and everyone will act as deputies in solving Who done it?
Employees can be your most valuable asset, as well as a significant liability to your nonprofit. By approaching human resources from beginning to end, you can set the stage for a successful partnership with your employees. A cohesive environment will set the stage for employees being their best, creating opportunities and creativity. Often these same roles are filled by volunteers and having successful strategies will help you help your organization be the best it can be!
In this workshop we will be covering what you need in place before you are ready to hire, assessing your organization’s culture and best practices when seeking your next team member, what tools and methods can be employed to show them you value them, and how to support your team as a whole when its time for that employee to leave the organization.
The final Business After Hours of 2018 is here! We cordially invite you to help celebrate the season at TwinStar Credit Union this Tuesday, December 11th at 5:30pm.
The Aberdeen TwinStar branch will be hosting this “Full -Blown, Four-Alarm” holiday after hours celebration! Expect an evening of excitement including: appetizers, drink tickets, door prizes, networking and most importantly, fun!
In the spirit of the holidays, please consider bringing a can of food to benefit Coastal Harvest.
What is Business After Hours? Each month, a business or organization in the county receives the opportunity to host this event and offer locals a chance to meet up with some familiar faces and engage with new community members. The host will have the chance to present the attendees with an introduction to their mission, products, purpose and whatever else they like in their own distinctive manner. This is truly an event unlike any other!
