2020 Employee Recognition Recipients
This past year has brought many challenges for all of us to face, especially the Covid Pandemic. But, even a worldwide pandemic could not stop the spurwin}ri family to continue to their part to help and support the agency’s participants... keeping them active, safe and thriving. We are grateful for the commitment that all our employees have shown throughout the year. We are Spurwink Strong!
As always, at this time of the year, we would like to honor some of our employees for their Years of Service. Although we cannot join together for a meal and to celebrate them, we would like to recognize them with all of you.
