Every year in October, Shasta County Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) celebrates all of the hard work staff completed over the past year. Shasta DCSS’s Staff Morale Inspiration Laughter & Encouragement Society, or “SMILES,” committee organizes the event and creates a theme, this year the event was similar to the Academy Awards. Each team supervisor presented one person from his/her team an “Oscar trophy” and read a short statement about the work and dedication that person displayed in the past year. Shasta DCSS Director Terri Morelock gave a Directors Excellence award to an employee who she thought had went over and above in teamwork, dedication and customer service.
In addition to the awards and recognition, Shasta DCSS hosts a game of friendly team competition with “Child Support Feud,” set up similar to the popular television game show Family Feud. The questions are based on child support services or local government.
“We all enjoy a nice lunch and a lot of laughter,” Morelock said. “We also reveal our end of the (FFY) performance stats. This year we were especially proud of our increase in current support to 71.14 percent! We talk about the families that depend on our services and how we positively impact those we serve,” she added.
This year, the celebration was attended by Shasta County Executive Officer Larry Lees, California State DCSS Director Alisha Griffin, Chief Deputy Director Mark Beckley and Regional Administrator Lesley Bell who also participated in the Child Support Feud.
