on Monday, it will unveil a countdown clock in its headquarters lobby so that employees can see how many days remain until the big change.
Something big is going to happen on 10-13-14. and it’s so big that we think it’s going to take a full year to celebrate. So we’re going to start the countdown at 10-14-2013.
The law, passed by Congress was enacted Oct. 13, 2006, setting up Oct. 13, 2014, as its expiration date.
Ricks said they intend to make a big deal of the impending change to remind people of what is about to occur.
“It occurred to us that our customers, our employees in North Texas and certainly our customers and employees outside North Texas all generally know something is supposed to happen sometime soon, but they don’t know what and they don’t know when,” he said.
“So starting Monday, by way of a regular celebration that we’ll roll out on a periodic basis over the course of a full year, we’re going to start telling people, first of all when, which is Oct. 13, 2014, and then later in the year as we move into it, more of the ‘what,’ ” Ricks said.
Ricks declined to specify
