Notice of Interruption – Phone – Tuesday, Nov. 19th from 7:50am – 8:00am

Hi Team Members,

Tomorrow Morning, Tuesday, November 19, between 7:50am-8:00am the phone system will be rebooted. All phones at the Home and Hospital will be offline for about 5 minutes.

From 8am onward, the remaining 30 old phones will not work. Starting at 8am, I’ll start swapping out these old phones with new black Avaya phones. This may take up to two hours before last phone is swapped. Once a new phone is plugged in, it will take up to 10 minutes for the firmware to be downloaded, after which the phone will be operational.

Instructions on the use of the new phones are on the Menno Place Staff website. https://mennoplacestaff.com/phone-upgrade/

Below is the list of phones affected and to be replaced.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

November is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Menno Place is supporting this cause as it has hit one of our own. Rhonda, a team member from Menno Apartments, lost her daughter to domestic violence. Part of her grief therapy was to work with other family members of domestic violence to create purple hearts. Each heart has a small hole in it that represents the loss of a loved one.
Rhonda has lovingly made these purple hearts to share with the team members at Menno to recognize Domestic Violence Month. Purple hearts are available in each lunch room/staff lounge for a small donation. The money raised will go to Abbotsford Victim Services. Menno Place will match the amount raised.
