PSSO Spring Luncheon is Back! 

Yes, it has returned! For those who have not attended a spring luncheon in the past, this is a fun event that brings all employees and retirees together to socialize, learn some things from a guest speaker, and of course, prizes! The spring luncheon will be held on Friday, May 15 at Heritage Hall from 11:30-1 p.m. And as always, there's a theme. This year, the theme is 80s Party. Costumes are encouraged!
