Come join the fun at the Laboratory’s celebration of the University of California’s 63 years of service to the nation through its management of the Laboratory.
“Celebrating an Era with Pride and Honor” is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 20 at Technical Area 3. All Laboratory workers (including subcontract personnel) and their families and friends; retirees; elected officials; and other invited guests will take part in a day of exhibits, entertainment, food and fun.
The highlight of the celebration is the dedication of the new National Security Sciences Building (NSSB) at TA-3, which will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, tours of the facility and the unveiling in the NSSB courtyard of a piece from the Pentagon building that was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001.
All badge holders, including subcontract personnel, will be given free food tickets for themselves and up to five guests — the University of California is providing the food. Retirees attending the event also will be issued free food tickets and can bring up to five guests. The meal includes a hamburger, hot dog or veggie burger; potato chips; cookies; and a soft drink or water.
Los Alamos Big Band, The Nomads, Jan McDonald Brass Quartet and Nosotros are scheduled to provide musical entertainment. A children’s dance company from Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo, Ice Mountain Dance Group, also will perform.
The Laboratory logo store will be on hand to sell caps, T-shirts and other Laboratory logo merchandise. Proceeds will benefit the Northern New Mexico Math and Science Academy.
