Several employees said they like the shirts and would prefer pre-fer to keep them rather than go to something that looks less professional. Others were less enthusiastic about keeping the shirts. The board agreed to let the employees hold a meeting of their own to discuss the issue of uniforms and to vote on what type they want. One employee said this has been done several times and that it always leads to disagreements between the employees. She made reference to "cat fights" and said the voting vot-ing will not work because those who lose the vote will refuse to cooperate with those who win the vote. Board member Donna encourage me to try again. Let me know you love me. With a hug or a pat on the back. Or, when I need it, with a firm but gentle "no". Let me be. Let me change. Let me grow. Let me tell you when I'm feeling bad. Or angry. Even at you. And let me know that even on my worst days, you still like me. Let me dream. Share my joy when my dreams come true. Share my tears when they don't. Let me feel secure in my home. Help me realize that love is always there...that I can depend on you no matter what. Let me run...Let me laugh-Let laugh-Let me play. And most of all, let me be a child."
