"Our Heroes" AwardOn Thursday, November 20, 2008 Angela Haney, Catering Manager at OSU Catering, was presented with the PFLA Our Heroes Award. Angela’s nominator had this to say about her: “Angela and her crew believe they must set the highest standard to

uphold the University’s image. Everything they do reflects back on the University and gives folks an overall impression. They work very hard to make sure everyone sees OSU in the best light possible. Angela and her team have gone above and beyond expectations time and time again. They maintained a very professional attitude and we were able to joke about the situation. Everything was done beautifully.” Angela received a certificate from PFLA and flowers donated by Stargazer Florists of Corvallis.

Woodstock's Pizza EventThe evening of October 23 found many PFLA and AOP members gathering around fresh hot pizza at Woodstock’s and what a fun evening we had! It’s always fun to

meet with our colleagues away from the work environment and this first time event proved to be a huge success. Laurie Solum and Angela Haney were instrumental in making the evening happen—thanks Ladies. And next time you’re in Woodstock’s, thank the staff for the great service they provided to PFLA. The PFLA Board is planning the next evening event for spring so watch your email!

January 7, 2009 MU 213 OSU: The Party College? Joyce Fred – OSU Risk Officer

Are you aware of the process for serving alcohol at your next OSU function? The liability, workers’ compensation, and public relations exposures are several of the factors involved in approving alcohol service. The State DAS Alcohol Risk Control Policy has guidelines for serving alcohol on state property or during state business functions. In general, the public does not perceive any benefit from employees consuming alcohol on the job; therefore, alcohol service is not approved during business hours and state funds can not be used to purchase alcohol. Come learn more about the process and guidelines for serving alcohol at your next OSU function.
