Communication with Members WELCOME NEW MEMBERS: FOLLOW UP EMAIL : Greetings, Nancy and I would like to thank our colleagues who were able to attend the meet and greet on January 14th. It was a pleasure to met you all. We had a great time. We're excited about working with you as we strive to make Essex the best unit in NASW-NJ. Some of the photos from the evening may be in the upcoming newSWire™. Also, if you have a blurb about your experience at the event, email me so I can see if I can get some of them included. Be on the look out for a brief survey about your NASW-NJ experiences. Completing the survey will help us with planning. Have a great rest of the week. Theresa & Nancy Good evening and welcome to NASW-NJ Union County Unit!!! Hi, my name is Kenyetta Jackson and I am the unit chairperson for this section. I wanted to personally welcome you to the unit and to NASW-NJ. As you may or may not know, our unit has branched off from the Middlesex County Unit effective September. This is a brand new unit and I am excited to have you join us. Unfortunately, our first Social Work Exchange was postponed due to Hurricane Sandy but I am in the process of rescheduling it so please look out for the invite and RSVP as soon as you can. I look forward to meeting with you and sharing some of your idea's so please bring plenty of them! If you are not receiving the newSWire or the Online FOCUS please let me know. You will receive tons of information about whats going on in NASW from these two sources. Please contact me if you have any questions at this email address or at my office @908-436-5540. See you soon! Kenyetta E. Jackson, MSW
