Fabulous February
- Warm-Up Wednesday - You are welcome to wear your jeans and Kellison spirit wear!
- Friday "Happy Hour" - Stop by the lounge to enjoy some McAlister's tea. It will be set up and ready for you by the first lunch.
Don't forget to send me a picture of your pet and we will see how well our staff can match the animal with their correct owner. Just e-mail them my way!
Relay for Life
Relay for Life is fast approaching! We are working on some fun fundraisers to help Kellison hit the $1,000 goal. Please consider signing up on the Kellison Tiger Team so we can pack the track on Saturday, April 23 at Summit High School!! Registration is free and fast.
Once signed up, you may create your own fundraising page and you may do as much personal fundraising on your own as you like - through friends & family, to help our team hit our $1K goal!
