Georgetown, Del., Nov. 16, 2007: Sussex County offices will close for a two-hour period on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2007, so that employees may attend the annual Mildred King Luncheon.

County offices will close from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on that date. Members of the public with business to conduct at County facilities are asked to plan accordingly for the temporary closure.

Offices will re-open promptly at 1:30 p.m.

The regularly scheduled meeting of the Sussex County Council will be unaffected by the temporary closure. The Council meeting will be held at 10 a.m. in the Council Chambers, located within the County Administrative Offices building on The Circle in Georgetown.

The Mildred King Luncheon is held each December to recognize County employees for their service to the County government. It is named in honor of former County employee Mildred King, who served Sussex County for nearly 30 years.
