Dress semi-professional and bring copies of your resume Quote of the Week I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all. ~ Leo Rosten ~ Requests for Weekly Bulletin must be submitted to Catalina Cathy Medina in the President s Office, no later than Wednesday, 12:00 noon.
