Don’t forget to change your voicemail greeting and schedule an “away” message to your email during both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday breaks so that callers and/or e-mailers will know when they can expect to hear from you. All Central Rivers AEA offices will be closed on November 23-24 in observance of Thanksgiving.
Voicemail example:
“Hello, this is (your name). Our office will be closed beginning Thursday, November 23 and will reopen on Monday, November 27. Please leave your name, telephone number and a brief message and I will return your call on the 27. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Central Rivers AEA.”

Thank you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Please note the office closure dates for the Christmas holiday break are Monday, December 25, 2023 – January 1, 2024.
