Reuse This:

Cooking water = plant food

You can forget pouring the cooking

water from boiled foods down the

drain. As long as it’s not salted, your

plants will be more than happy to

drink it once it has cooled. Both hard

-boiled eggs and steamed vegeta-

bles leave valuable minerals behind,

making the water a source of nutri-

ents for your garden.

After over 42 years of dedicated service to Crosspoint Human Services, Sonna Rose announced

her retirement effective May 3, 2017. We will miss seeing your smiling face and hearing your kind

voice on the other end of the phone at 309 N. Logan, Sonna. Best wishes on your well deserved

retirement and thank you for over 42 years!

Nancy Trosper, in Day Training, won

the flowers in the boots. Nancy said,

“I’ve never won anything before!” After

her picture was taken her classroom

started clapping. When asked if she

was planning to keep the boots for her-

self or give them to her mom for

Mother’s Day, she said she planned to

keep them.

Please remember if you need to

use the Group Room, you need

to sign up for it at the Recep-

tion Desk.

Please watch for the

Testing Sign on the Hu-

man Resources doors.

We give reading tests to

some of our prospec-

tive employees and

having you walk in during testing is a distraction when

they only have a limited amount of time for the test.

You are more than welcome to come back later.

Thought for the Month

Whosoever, wishes to know about the world

must learn about it in its particular details.

Knowledge is not intelligence. In searching

for the truth be ready for the unexpected.

Change alone is unchanging. The same

road goes both up and down. The beginning

of a circle is also its end. Not I, but the

world says it all: all is one. And yet every-

thing comes in season.

Heraklietos of Ephesos

Philosopher

What problem did Leonardo da Vinci, Winston

Churchill, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and

General George Patton have in common?

They were all dyslexic.
