Employee of the Year. Photo courtesy FRC
On Tuesday, May 10,
Feather River College li-
brary's senior program assis-
tant, Dottle Arcangeli, was
named a Classified Employee
of the Year by Chancellor
Jack Scott of the California
Community College system.
Dr. Ron Taylor and librarian
Tom Davis were in atten-
dance for the ceremony. Ar-
cangeli received a commemo-
rative plaque and a check for
$500 during the ceremony.
During her 21-plus years of
service at FRC, Arcangeli
• has been the mainstay of the
library's instructional sup-
port services. Arcangeli's un-
wavering c.ommitment to stu-
dents, faculty and staff in the
performance of her duties is
both admirable and remark-
able. Arcangeli never falters
in her positive approach to
virtually every task she un-
dertakes -- whether prepar-
ing a report required by the
state or federal government,
interacting a hundred times
daily with members of the di-
verse student population
who attend FRC, training
student employees, learning
new software applications as
library technology changes
or the many other undertak-
ings too numerous to men-
tion here but performs
each one with an eye toward
helping further the educa-
tional mission of the college
in general, and the educa-
tional goals of the students
specifically.
Arcangeli has also been a
leader within the Classified
Senate for' the last 19 years.
She was on the original com-
mittee to create the Feather
River College Classified Sen-
ate Scholarship in 1996, and
she organizes the bi-annual
fundraiser for the scholar-
ship. Arcangeli volunteers
with various community or-
ganizations including the
American Cancer Society,
Boy Scouts of America and
the bymphoma Research
Foundation.
What makes Arcangeli's
commitment especially re-
markable is that the quality
of her work and the level of
her dedication have never di-
minished in spite of personal
challenges. Despite facing a
life-threatening illness that
required three regimens of
chemotherapy, Arcangeli
performed her duties with
the same degree of dedication
and commitment that she al-
ways has. As acknowledged
by a co-worker, "She treats
everyone with respect and
has a smile on her face even
while in pain."
Feather River College, the
Board of Governors, the
Chancellor's Office and the
Foundation for California
Community Colleges are
proud to recognize Arcangeli
as a 2011 Classified Employee
of the Year award winner.
This is the third consecutive
year that an FRC employee
has won this award.

and Recognition during the

pervisors meeting in Quincy•
Byrne, who recently retired

from.San Diego (in 1994) he
only paid $1.09 for gas," said
Director of Public Works Bob
Perreault. "And if Marty went
to the movies, the ticket only
cost $4. A loaf of bread was
$1.50 and a dozen eggs was 86
cents."
Perreault, however, wasn't
joking when he talked about
what Byrne's influence and
dedication have meant to the
county.
"We are going to miss you,
Marty ..."
Board of Supervisors Chair-
woman Lori Simpson echoed
Perreault's sentiments as she
presented the certificate to
Byrne.
"Marty has served us well
in many aspects," Simpson
said. "He has a very pleasant
personality and is very easy
to talk to. I'm sure our Board
of Supervisors had many oc-
"We've come along way," casions to work with him on
said Perreault, who was the transportation commis-
Byrne's supervisor. "A lot of sion.
that success is due to Marty. "I'm really happy to present
And he certainly has demon- this to Marty. I have been a
strated himself to be a cham- friend of his family for many
pion of his subordinates, years."
