When Leslie Gaynor saw the article in the June/July issue
of The 411 encouraging school board employees to get physicals,
"The fact that I could potentially win a cruise just
for getting a physical was an added bonus," she said.
So Ms. Gaynor, a 25-year plus District employee who currently
serves as an adult educator at Cooper City Community School,
had her physician sign-off on the coupon and turned it into
the District's benefits department. "I had forgotten
all about the cruise contest until Benefits Director Ron
Weintraub tracked me down a few weeks ago," explains
Ms. Gaynor. "He told me there were more than 3,000
entries and I was amazed that I had actually won!"
"I'm really looking forward to cruising," she
says, although it is possible she might give the week-long
Caribbean cruise aboard Carnival Cruise Lines to her niece
as a wedding gift. In the mean time, she's enjoying hearing
all her friends tell her how much they enjoy cruising!
"An annual physical exam can help detect problems that
otherwise might go unchecked," says Jim Apicella, the
District's Wellness Coordinator. His department had a very
positive response to the cruise incentive, which ended in
mid-December 2002. In fact, almost two thousand more employees
received physicals in 2002 over the previous year.
