“STOP” Walkers/Runners : As the weather changes, and we know everyone
is getting into shape by walking or running around the plant. Please
remember that you are not allowed to walk thru or in RED LINE AREAS inside
or outside the plant. Please re-route your exercise area to avoid these
areas immediately.
Direct Deposit : If you have been watching the news, the post office is
looking at doing away with Saturday delivery. If you are not in the direct
deposit program yet it might be a good idea to get ahead of the change.

changes are coming as the Explorer comes to an end very soon. What is about
to take place here at LAP is new Ground Breaking territory for Ford, LAP
