<DIV>Good afternoon,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you to all of those who were able to attend the OSSSA sponsored training in Portland last week. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd like to pass along another training opportunity sent to me by the Department of Revenue. The first reminder of the Payrolltax News below plays along with part of the training from last week. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please note I'm out of the office today at 1 pm and will return on Tuesday morning. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have a great weekend.</DIV>
