Happy Spring! I mean..the rain won’t last forever, right? This is my first Facility Update, so please keep expectations low. Thanks!
4TH ANNUAL STEP CHALLENGE
The NATCA Charitable Foundation (NCF) Step Challenge started last week but you can still join at any time during the challenge. Your steps will backtrack to March 20th through your tracking app/device. We have a little ZSE teaming going but you may join another team, make up your own or do it alone.
As mentioned in the last update, your NATCA Events Committee will be offering 3 gift certificates for 1st ($50), 2nd ($35), and 3rd ($15) place to your choice of either Costco or REI. The Step Challenge ends on Fri, May 3rd and we will announce the winners the following week. In order to pick the winners, all the identified participants will have their name in bowl and we will randomly pick 3 names out. Just fill out the form to get your username matched with your real name, and you're in! Don't miss out on supporting the NCF—join in now!

COOLANT PIPE REPAIR
It was discovered that one of the very large pipes in the basement that runs water through the HVAC for the building is failing. The contractor will be out on Wednesday to perform a test that involves briefly shutting down the water. This is to see what types of repairs will need to be done. They will return and do this work on Saturday unless the test shows that it needs to be done immediately. This work will start between 2 and 4 am, and the estimated completion time is 30 min. Let the OM know if it gets too hot in the control room. I don’t think it will affect the heat, but maybe bring a hoodie just in case.
CIC CADRE
You may remember they will require certified people to teach the CIC class. The class will be taught via Zoom and held on May 16th and 17th. If interested, please let me or your area rep know by April 16th.
ALL MEMBERS MEETING 3/20/24
Thank you to all those who came in person and online to the All Members meeting! We had a packed room with many new faces. Chico will send out the meeting minutes soon.
DRUG & ALCOHOL TESTING
The testers have been in the building a lot over the last 2 weeks. Please always ask for a NATCA Rep if you don’t see one. We are here to protect the process for you.
I will be at Parents Weekend at WSU next weekend for my oldest and away for spring break with my youngest April 8-14. I come back in time to attend the Northwest Mountain Region Meeting in SLC on April 15-17. We will send out meeting notes after we return.
If you have any questions/concerns please contact any of your Eboard members.
With Warm Regards,
your Veep
