Congratulations to Margie Wendell on the birth of her
grandson, Noah Timothy Wendell, born on Jan. 1, 2003, to
Rebecca Deeann Wendell. The New Year’s Day birth was the
second in the family, as Rebecca’s cousin also gave birth to a
baby girl that day in Lakeland.
Congratulations

NEWS AROUND CREC
Ring, ring! New Phone System
in Place
CREC has implemented a new Cisco IP Phone system and
digital service. Our phone numbers remain (863) 956-1151 for
Central Switchboard, and (863) 956-4311 to reach our “automated
attendant.” The automated attendant allows you to dial
extensions directly or search for names if the extension number is
unknown. CREC/IFAS extension numbers are now 1 + old
extension number. The CREC Switchboard extension is 1011.
Suncom numbers have changed, however, and CREC is
accessible via these 4 direct Suncom lines:
515-8913: Central switchboard; basic automated
attendant when the switchboard is unattended;
515-8921: Automated attendant;
515-8930: Center Director’s office;
515-8931: Business Office FAX.
Old 533-xxxx Suncom numbers will soon be out of service.
The new phones offer features such as a directory of CREC
employees, a history of missed calls, speaker phone, conference
call capability, call transfer, redial, call forwarding and an extensive
collection of optional ring sounds. Seek assistance from
CREC’s Information Support Dept. group for a demonstration of
these features.
