Mark Celebrates 9 Years at Artman

   Dedicated, hard working, friendly, punctual; these are all things employers look for when hiring an individual.  Mark Mitchell is one of those individuals.

   On February 7, 2003, Mark celebrated his 9th year at Artman Lutheran Home in Ambler!  Mark works Monday through Friday, 2-4pm in the dining room.  Some of Mark's job duties include vacuuming, wiping down tables and chairs, and light dusting.  Mark truly loves his job and it shows in his work ethics and length of employment.  Mark gets along very well with all his co-workers.  Emily Davis, Mark's supervisor stated, "She is glad to have Mark as an employee at Artman.    He is a hard worker and is always at work and ready to do his job".  Mark is someone she can count on.  Mark is always ready to cheer everyone up with his jokes and riddles.

   Mark walks to and from work everyday and lives with two roommates, Vince and John.  He prepares his own lunches and gets ready for work independently.
