Walk This Way! Court Administration Steps It Up

Twenty-one Court Administration employees from seven divisions kicked off the New Year’s Resolution Riverwalk with a brisk walk along the New River. A good time was had by all despite some clouds, spitting rain and temperatures that were a bit brisk. The walkers met in the downstairs lobby of the West Tower, then walked east along the New River for about 15 minutes to the East Parking Garage. Another walk will be planned soon, with a goal of establishing them weekly, so stayed tuned! Health is wealth. Join us!
