    Guilford Shares Thanks Participants in Charitable Giving Campaign

    On behalf of co-chairs JERRY JOPLIN, BRIAN WENGER and LESLIE DAISY, a heartfelt “thank you” goes out to participants in this year’s highly successful Guilford Shares charitable giving campaign. Our goals were to raise $15,000 and have 25%% of Guilford employees make a gift or pledge. We actually raised $16,940, and 26%% of employees supported the campaign.

    The campaign will provide funding to the following organizations: United Arts Council ($559), Community Shares ($2,642), Earth Share ($5,401) and the United Way of Greater Greensboro ($8,338). This is in addition to contributions for hurricane relief and to the Guilford Annual Funds.

    GERTRUDE BEAL won two tickets to see the matinee of Garrison Keillor’s “Lake Wobegon Days” April 11, and ANORE HORTON won dinner for four at Ragsdale House, hosted by President KENT CHABOTAR and provided by Guilford Dining.

    Thanks also to the president for his time and leadership during the campaign and to Chef MIKE WATTS and Guilford Dining for providing the delicious kick-off event and the Ragsdale dinner. We also gratefully acknowledge the hard work of the steering committee: MARY BROOS, AARON FETROW, IRENE HARRINGTON, LEAH KRAUS, DAVE LIMBURG, TIM LINDEMAN, LYNN MOSELEY and BOB WILLIAMS.

    Finally, thanks to all of you for opening your hearts and pocketbooks in a way that shows what a caring place Guilford is.

    Important Message From Human Resources About Paychecks and Vouchers

    To improve the security of employee personal information as a response to a few recent incidents and changes in state law, the college is changing the procedure for distributing employee pay vouchers and paychecks. Paychecks and vouchers for faculty and staff will no longer be placed in campus mailboxes, effective with the Jan. 3, 2006 payday.

    Employees with automatic direct deposit will receive their pay vouchers in the mail. The vouchers will be mailed to your home address on payday. If you want to find out what your direct deposit amount will be, please contact your bank.

    Faculty and staff employees who have not elected the direct deposit option for their monthly pay must report to the Office of Human Resources in New Garden Hall to pick up their paycheck on payday. While you are in the Human Resources area picking up your check, consider bringing a void check from your account and signing up for direct deposit. Direct depositing of your check will eliminate the need to pick up your check in Human Resources each month.

    Please contact Human Resources with questions at ext. 2134, 2136, 2138 or 2436 or by e-mail at humanresources@guilford.edu.

    Student pay vouchers and paychecks will continue to be distributed through the student mailboxes in Founders Hall and CCE.
