1997 UCSD Annual Staff Picnic

I am pleased to announce and invite you to the UCSD Staff
Association's Annual Staff Appreciation Picnic which will be held on
Friday, August 15, 1997, from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at the Sun God
Lawn. "ALL STAR STAFF" is the theme for this year's picnic. All
University employees are encouraged to attend this fun-filled event.

Picnic year activities this year will include the 15th Annual Vice
Chancellor's Volleyball Tournament and a variety of other
exciting games, music, an arts and craft vendor fair, bake sale,
cake walk, door prizes, and clowns who will paint faces and make
balloon animals. A variety of foods will be available for
purchase. T-shirts featuring the ALL STAR STAFF theme will be
available for purchase at the Staff Association Information
Booth. All proceeds will benefit the UCSD Staff Association
Scholarship fund.

Supervisors may grant employees two-hours of release time in
addition to the regular half-hour for lunch to attend the picnic if
the absence does not infringe upon the performance of required job
duties.

Free parking is available in lots 207 and 208 (north of Muir College)
during the picnic. If you have any other questions regarding the
UCSD Staff Association's Picnic, please contact Darcy Bingham at
extension 44037 or Bonnie Matheny at extension 47700.

I hope that you can join the UCSD Staff Association's
representatives and other members of the UCSD family in an
afternoon of amusement.

Robert C. Dynes Chancellor
