SPECIAL EVENTS

SF District Attorney
Is Black History Speaker


Harris
San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris — the first woman ever elected to this position and daughter of Berkeley Lab scientist Shyamala Harris — visits the Lab next Monday to deliver a speech commemorating Black History Month. The talk begins at noon in the Building 50 Auditorium. Harris says her parents, both active in the civil rights movement, instilled in her "a strong commitment to justice and public service." The talk is sponsored by the Lab's Workforce Diversity Office.

ANNOUNCEMENTS


Changes To Come
In Former EPB Area

During February, two changes will be made at the former Bevatron Experimental Particle Beam Hall site between Buildings 50 and 64. Additional parking will be added in one area while another section will be used as a staging zone for the Molecular Foundry construction. Once these changes are implemented, drivers should use caution when using Alvarez Road due to new traffic entering and exiting the former Bevatron EPB Hall area. Go here for more information on these changes.

Buy Some Bling
For Your Valentine

Representatives from Karats Jewelry will be at the Lab this Wednesday, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the cafeteria lobby. Valentines Day is next Monday, and Karats is offering chains, bracelets, rings, charms, or earrings for the occasion. Karats offers a layaway plan, and Lab employees get a 10 percent discount on all items. Their jewelry is already listed at 60 percent below retail. The event is sponsored by the Employees Activities Association.
