This is such a great story about amazing people! It gives a whole new meaning to #MorePowerfulTogether.On Tuesday June 19th, over a dozen Jefferson County PUD employees shaved their heads in support of a co-worker battling cancer. Electrical Meter Reader Marianne Kline recently began losing hair as a side effect of chemotherapy, and was considering shaving her head. Her co-workers didn’t want her to have to experience losing her hair on her own, and organized a group head shaving day during lunch on Tuesday to support Kline. Janel Grabner from billing used to cut hair professionally and brought the clippers to do the honors. Lineman, engineers, customer service representatives, and even General Manager Larry Dunbar took part. Kline was touched by the effort: “When I first heard that everyone else was going to shave their heads, honestly I was sad, because I didn’t want them to have to lose their hair too, because of me. But the fact that they were willing to do it, and cared so much about me to not want me to go through it alone… It’s like a family here at the PUD. I am so emotionally grateful and I just want to thank everybody from the bottom of my heart.” ... See MoreSee Less
