SCI Retreat's Empowerment Committee coordinated a Regional Symposium for SCI Retreat, SCI Waymart, SCI Dallas and Central Office staff on Oct. 19.
More than 100 staff members were in attendance. Special guest speakers included the Office of the Attorney General, Luzerne County SPCA, Vet Dogs of SCI Dallas, Victims Resource Center and a CERT and AMAC presentation from Lt. Eric Kosakowski. All participants received a gift and a few lucky staff members received raffle prizes. Breakfast, snacks, drinks and a catered lunch was provided.
This year's event was even more special due to Supt. Vince Mooney's impending retirement in Nov. 2018. Retreat's Empowerment Committee presented Supt. Mooney with gifts for his Notre Dame fan cave at his home. Regional Deputy Secretary Michael Wenerowicz also presented him with his retirement badge. Supt. Mooney was overwhelmed and extremely grateful.
