SUBJECT:  UCSD Staff Association's Appreciation 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 11, 2000, from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at the Sun God Lawn. "UCSD Fun in the Sun" is the theme for this year's Picnic. All members of the campus community are encouraged to attend this fun-filled event.

Picnic activities this year will include the 18th 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 UCSD STAFF FUN IN THE SUN 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. Questions regarding the Picnic should be directed to Chrystal Basil at (858) 534-4581 or Adell Bynum at (858) 534-3550.

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