on Easter gift-giving

Well Done: Kudos for award winners and stellar volunteers
In each issue, eScoop likes to give a shout-out to employees and departments who have earned special recognition. We want to hear about colleagues who have earned kudos on the job, who are going above and beyond the call of duty, or are being recognized for their work or volunteerism outside the office.
Send your ideas on employees who should receive a pat on the back by emailing the eScoop editor.
In this issue, you’ll hear about key honors for the Health Department, the Library and the director of the Department of Environmental Quality; how staff from Pima Animal Care Center are sharing lifesaving messages; how an Information Technology employee is using his off-hours to help folks pursuing their high school diplomas; and how Transportation staff are getting trashy in their free time.
