Deck Party” Door prize Dinner/Dance on Monday evening. Don’t forget to put your county’s name on the package so that the winner of that prize will know where it came from! This has been such a fun and interesting process — the ideas are always great! Come decked out to the party! Wear your Hawaiian or cruise attire! Get out those loud flowered shirts and dresses, we are going to be sailing the night away on the USS WV Commissioner!!!
County Commissioners & Administrators should remember to bring your permanent name tags with you to the meeting. If you don’t have one, give us a call and we’ll get you one.
