Individuals are often asked what they value, but rarely are they ever asked to truly define what those values mean to them. This workshop takes a closer look at personal and organizational core values, asking individuals to define their core values and to delve into their personal mission statement. If individuals are part of the same group, they will also look at their organizations mission statement and values. - Thursday, September 14th 6-7:30pm · ASC 1086

Tech Tip of the Week - UPDATE!!!
From Jen O'Brien
TIP: Set Gmail as your browser's default email (instead of Outlook) in Chrome. WHY: If you have ever tried to click on a link to someone’s email from any webpage, chances are you’ve had the Microsoft Outlook setup box show up and make you wait for it to load. And if you don’t use Outlook (as most of us do not), you’ve probably been annoyed. Lucky for all of us - there is a way out! HOW? Head to the Chrome menu in the top right corner of your browser and select Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select Show Advanced Settings. Click Content Settings and then scroll down to the Manage Handlers button. Select Gmail from the dropdown, click Done, and there you go! UPDATE: If this didn't work for you, you probably need to make a quick update in your Gmail Browser settings. In Chrome, go to the tab with your gmail open. If you see overlapping diamonds, click on the diamonds and change the setting from "Deny" to "Allow" mail.google.com to open all email links. Click Done, then test it out! If it doesn't work, go into the Content Settings to Manage Handlers, per the last Tech Tip.
