To: Cisco Systems employees

From: Stella Joyce, Event Planning Committee

Subject: the 7th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day

Each year, on System Administrator Appreciation Day, we pause to recognize many contributions that have made by our system administrators during the year. This year’s System Administrator Appreciation Day will be held on December 10 and not December 5 as announced earlier. The Event Planning Committee is looking for your help to make this year’s celebration the best yet.

We are looking for ways to increase employee involvement in the event. For instance, would you like to help schedule the event program or bring food? Would you have time to set up decorations? Or perhaps you’d be willing to help by wiping off the tables, disposing of garbage, storing leftover food and removing decorations after the event.

An informational session will be held on Thursday, November 24 in Room 208. If you would like to volunteer to help out at the 7th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day, please contact Ms. Becky Walls at 504-2961.

If you are unable to attend the meeting but, have ideas you would like to share, please e-mail me at stella@cisco.com.

As part of the program, the Chinese Institutes and Chinese Classrooms operate in the US and nearly worldwide, specialized in teaching Chinese culture and language.
