Lab's Family Festival is Saturday

The Family Festival is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday at Sullivan Field at Los Alamos High School on Diamond Drive. "The intent of the festival is to salute all members of the extended Laboratory work force family - past and present - for their many contributions to this great institution, and to thank the families of our work force for their outstanding support and dedication," Interim Laboratory Director G. Peter Nanos said in a all employee memo.

The festival features food, music and fun for Lab workers and family members of all ages. To make the festival successful, the Lab's 60th Anniversary task force is seeking input in planning, implementation and post-event reflection on the event. Lab workers who want to volunteer to serve on the event's planning committee, or who have suggestions for the festival program should contact Min S. Park of the Bioscience (B) Division, task force member, by calling 5-3024 or writing to park_min_s@lanl.gov by electronic mail, or write to familyfestival@lanl.gov by electronic mail.

The Laboratory's Culture Day, previously celebrated at lunchtime in August, is being included this year in the Family Festival. And the Hispanic Diversity Working Group is sponsoring a salsa contest with prizes awarded to the best salsa. Read the all employee memo for more information about the salsa contest.
