3. October Workday Crew- this workday is for Katy Griffith, Ashley Pridemore, Sowell family, Travis & Carol, Sharp family & Bailey family, and the Mudd family. These monthly workdays are a requirement for the families of the particular month to qualify for year end awards. Each family is scheduled for 2 of these workdays (which can be done at any point during your month scheduled). An officer for that particular month will text the ones under their month for a reminder and when you decide to do your workday during your month please contact the officer so they can mark you down that you completed your workday.
