A Nice Note from Thursday

Yesterday was packed full of events and work – it was one of those days you enjoy because you get to do a little bit of everything.  I was the speaker at an elementary school career day, reviewed statehouse legislation, worked with several taxpayers who needed help, made a presentation to a citizens’ group, attended both a development seminar and a young professionals networking event.  I was able to work with children, citizens, issues impacting our future, and I was able to meet our community’s future leaders – I consider that a good day!

As I was meeting young professionals at the Talented Tenth reception in the newly named BB&T building, I met a young woman named Ashley and introduced myself as Richland County Treasurer.  She said, “My friend was at your office waiting to pay taxes the other day, and she was on Facebook telling everyone how great you were helping people through the long lines!”

It was so nice to hear that no matter how tough a “long lines day” can be people appreciate how hard our staff works to help make their experience go more smoothly.  Of course that comment was one of the highlights of a very long but great Thursday.
