| Salutation: | If you are a KAIROS team member, the greeting may include the resident's name, e. g. , "Dear Brother Joe" or "Dear Joe".
If you are part of a table family, be sure to greet those at your table by name. If you are not a KAIROS team member, the proper salutation is "Dear Brother in Christ". |
