Rush City Staff Work at Chisago Co. Fair

By Capt. Erik Rasmussen

Several MCF-Rush City employees staffed a booth at the Chisago Co. Fair July 20th - July 22nd to promote recruitment and community engagement. Staff from a variety of areas within the facility volunteered to assist during the fair. I was proud to witness staff doing excellent work by postively and professioanlly representing the facility and agency to the community. Staff actively engaged with fair participants through conversation about DOC employement opportunities, DOC history and the DOC mission. I would like to thank and recognize the following staff who participated in this event: OAS Jen Decker, Medical Assistant Jessica Volkman, OAS-I Kathy Hanson, Chaplain Mike Nimesheim, HR Spec. 2 Kayla Debaere, PPD Doug Greene, Elec. Systems Supv. Cory Swenson, and Ofc. Tom Beiring.
