The Importance of Mental Health and Wellness in the Workplace |
Please join us for our October virtual luncheon, featuring Sarah Buban, an adult and teen therapist with Thrive Wellness Clinic who will talk to us about the importance of mental health and wellness in the workplace. This is particularly important when we become short-staffed, are concerned about mandates and restrictions, and are trying to balance our personal and professional lives.
We'll do networking from 11:30 am to noon and the program will begin about 12:10 pm.

Team Marti's Dave Mitchell Named
'Hometown Hero' by Seattle Mariners
|
|
Dave Mitchell, a buyer's specialist for Team Marti of John L. Scott Real Estate, was named a Hometown Hero by the Seattle Mariners at their Sept. 15 home game. Dave accepted the award on behalf of a team that collected and distributed more than 3.5 million pounds of food during the pandemic.
“This award is representative of the hundreds of volunteers and donors from the greater Kent area that pulled together to accomplish the critically important task of providing food to people in need. It was a team effort. I am thrilled to be part of such a caring community," Dave said.
Way to go, Dave! You're our hero, too.
