2392.0. "REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE IN PLANNING AN OPEN HOUSE" by AMCFAC::DISHNEAU (TERRY DISHNEAU @FHO DTN 471-5407) Sat Feb 27 1993 07:36

    Hello:
    
    I am part of the committee planning an Open House for the employees
    at our building and their families.
    
    I am wondering if there are any contacts where we might get some 
    "freebies" for family members or the kids.
    
    Also, for the kids we are looking for "games" they could play on 
    workstations.
    
    Any assistance in the above areas would be appreciated.
    
    Regards,
    
    Terry Dishneau

	... at DEC, Terry!  :>)

	But for VAXstation or DECstation games, look in CSSE32::DW_EXAMPLES.
I don't know if it's keyworded, but a topic directory will show up a lot of
games and demos.

	Good Luck!

	>>    Am I kidding about what ?

	Having an Open House for Employees & families during a time of
	cost cutting measures and active re-structuring of the company
	worldwide which is resulting in many Digital workers to be laid
	off seems to be pushing the envelope a tad.

	But if your location has been uneffected by this I wish you the best.

2392.6Mixed feelings....CAPL::LANDRY_DThu Mar 04 1993 13:4216
re: -1
	At least your questioning the wisdom of this.

	I had mixed feelings when Canobie Lake was cancelled.
	It's a day for us to enjoy with our families and co-workers.
	But under these tight and unsecure times I agree with the
	decision to cut it.  Not so much from a cost perspective but
	from an emotional one.  I really couldn't enjoy the day with
	my family and co-workers knowing that all of us are striving 
	to turn our company around to profitabilty and espicially 
	stability.

	Seems like having an open house before this goal is accomplished
	is at best a poor timing selection,

	IMHO Dick
