Congratulations Karen Brown
Karen Brown of Bluffton is this month's employee of the month at Mennonite Memorial Home.
She has worked at the Mennonite Memorial Home since January 1994. Her supervisors say that she is a great asset to the Laundry Department. Last month the laundry department found themselves short staffed and Karen rose to the occasion keeping the laundry going and giving directions to several "recruits" who came to fill in.
Karen went above and beyond making sure residents and staff had clean laundry done in a timely fashion.
