The millennial generation (those born between approximately 1981 and 1996) is becoming the larg-est portion of our workforce. In fact, it is expected to be more than 50% by 2025! Hiring managers consistently say that understanding how to attract, motivate and retain our young professionals is one of their most significant challenges. So, if attracting and keeping millennials is a challenge now, what about seven years from now, when they’ll make up a majority of the workforce? An inability to recruit and retain this generation could be a roadblock to your organization’s growth, both now and/or in the future. Come to this informative session to learn: • The differences between all four generations in our workforce • The value millennials bring to the workforce, and what matters to them • Practical strategies to attract, motivate and retain millennials for your organization Cost for this seminar is $10, and includes a breakfast buffet from Morris Family Restaurant. Breakfast and lunch seminars are sponsored by PPL Electric Utilities.

Thursday, August 23 • 8:30—10:30 a.m. LCBC Church • 2421 Columbia Blvd. (Rt. 11), Bloomsburg

At-tendees will be able to learn RMHD’s other efforts, as well as learn about the numerous volunteer opportunities available, and meet the staff and volunteers. A full selection of hors d’oeuvres and non-alcoholic beverages will be available, and tours of RMHD’s newly-renovated guests rooms will be giv-en.

Annual Holiday Open HousePine Barn Inn

Sponsored by:

While the weather is anything but frightful (except the occasional thunderstorm) and the only delight-ful fi re in July is the outdoor, campfi re or patio variety, we’re already starting to make plans for this year’s Holiday Open House, when the weather outside is frightful and fi re inside so delightful.

We’ve got a few new things planned for this year, most signifi cantly a shuttle service, courtesy of Susquehanna Valley Limousine, which will hopefully mitigate any parking issues at the Pine Barn Inn.

Many more details to be announced in the coming months, but in the meantime, please save the date for Dec. 13.

Sponsorship and ticket information will be announced in early September.
