Round 3 of the Orange County Employee Secret Pal Program Begins September 1, Signups Due August 22

By: Michelle Williams, Deputy Clerk / Senior Administrative Assistant, Administration

The Orange County Employee Secret Pal program is ramping up for 2022 T3!* This round will run from September 1 to December 31, 2022. Participants are only required to give a $5 gift per month (but can choose to give more if desired!). Many participants have been known to really get into the giving spirit! County employees who are interested in participating should review the participant information, fill out the Secret Pal Questionnaire, and submit it to Michelle Williams at mlwilliams@orangecountyva.gov. Participant information will be distributed to each department. Questionnaires must be submitted by Monday, August 22. Secret Pals will be drawn on Friday, August 26. Rose Deal, Economic Development Director, says “ It ’ s fun!! And really a good way to get to know others. Not to mention it brightens my day! ” Employees who have not participated in the past are encouraged to give it a try; following the four - month period, there is no commitment to re - enroll. Interested, but not an Orange County government employee? We ’ re hiring for multiple open positions, visit www.orangecountyva.gov/jobs to view the current list and apply!

*Wondering why it was changed from Q3 to T3? “ Tertile ” is defined as any of the parts from an ordered distribution divided into three (3) parts. Since the Secret Pal program operates on three (3), four - month segments, this last segment is the third tertile. Enjoy this article ’ s word of the day: “ Tertile ”!
