Micky Gallas often when we go to this restaurant. In addition to Properties being a server, she is the only bartender for the entire restaurant. She is so attentive and efﬁ cient. She even knows what our favorite drink is and automatically brings it to the table. We never have to wait for our food or bill. This high energy person does all this with a smile. She treats everyone with respect, and her service is over the top.” R.O.S.E. winners receive a framed certiﬁ cate and rose corsage with a $100 bill folded inside.

The district has installed a secure drop box at its offi ce where residents can bring up to two banker boxes full of paper, CDs or zip drives to be securely shredded by Rapid Shred. “We’ll still provide confi dential document shredding twice a year at our 6-in-1 collection events, but this will allow residents to access that particular service all the time,” District Director Clay Turner said in a press release. The next 6-in-1 collection is Sept. 26, where tires, appliances, electronics, textiles and household haz- ardous waste will be collected in addition to on-site document shredding. The drop box will be available during district business hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Documents will not be shredded on site, but stored in a locked container that Rapid Shred will collect and shred confi dentially. Turner hopes this service also will help keep shredded paper out of curbside recycling bins. “When shredded paper goes to the sorting facility, it is so small that it is unable to be sorted with 3101 E.
