We will be performing some routine maintenance on our servers that are located in the Crocker data center within the STCC technology park this coming Saturday, April 6^th, at approximately 10 am.

The servers will need to be brought completely down for up to several hours. During this time, ServiceNet email (exchange and gmail,) the operations portal, the external web site (www.servicenet.org) and the HR Database and other associated Filemaker databases (staff directory, etc.) will not be available.

We anticipate that everything will be back online by no later than 2 pm, possibly earlier. Please plan accordingly.

eHana, ADP and the main intranet page (home.servicenet.org) will not be affected. We will post updates about the server maintenance on the intranet on Saturday. 

Do not hesitate to contact us in the IT department with any questions or concerns. 

Thank you, 

Ken

Three years ago Pathways and Pathways North began a holiday “Adopt a Family” program where we provided gifts to the families involved in our programs that they would not otherwise be able to afford.  Last year we expanded the program to include our HBI program, an outreach program providing therapeutic services to youth in Hampshire county.  We were awed by the generosity of those who donated, and were able to make the holiday season a bit brighter for all those families that participated in the program.

We are reaching out to you, our fellow ServiceNet employees, to help us with this endeavor once again.  Please take a moment to read the attachment and consider adopting one of the families by purchasing the gifts requested by our children and their siblings.  Some of the families are larger than others, so please consider the option of pooling your resources together to fulfill one family’s holiday wishes.  We are also glad to accept cash donations, let us do the shopping for you!

If you are able to help us out, please contact Amanda Harrison at aharrison@servicenet.org or through eHana with the family you would like to sponsor (please specify county and family number).  Gifts can be dropped off at either Pathways site or with Susan Karas at the Northampton Clinic and Chris Neiman at the Greenfield Clinic.  Please check back with current eHana postings, as we will update this list as families are chosen.

We are asking that all gifts be turned in by Wednesday December 12^th to give us enough time to get the gifts to the families before the holidays.  There is no need to wrap the gifts, please place them in a bag with the coordinating family number and county so we can distribute them. 

Please note, families already “adopted” are preceded on the posting with a “THANKS”.

We truly value your willingness to help out the families at Pathways and HBI and please know your generosity will be greatly appreciated.           

Kindly,

Pathways, Pathways North and HBI Staff

Dear ServiceNet Community,

In honor of the Great American Smokeout this week, I’d like to share this article from the U.S. Government’s Center for Integrated Health Solutions, which I hope you will find to be informative and useful:

November 2012: Smoking Cessation.

I’m hoping you will all take a few moments to read it!
