Recreation Office Hosts 10th Annual Appreciation Luncheon On Wednesday, the Recreation Office hosted the 10th annual Appreciation Luncheon at Chez Leon for those who assist in the administration of Fermilab's recreation programs. Fermilab has 17 clubs and athletic leagues dedicated to interests including golf, bowling, model airplanes, and gardening. Program leaders donate their time and energy to managing budgets, rules, rosters, and recruiting. "Most of these programs wouldn't exist without these people," notes Jean Guyer of the Recreation Office, who organized the luncheon.
More than 500 people
currently participate in the programs. This year's Appreciation
Luncheon honored club
and league representatives, as well as members of the Wellness Committee,
the Recreational Facility Advisory Committee and Recreation Office staff.
"Volunteers are one of Fermilab's most valuable resources," Guyer said.
"Fermilab would be a very different place without their contributions."

From U.S. News & World Report, October 20, 2003 A Public Education There's a lot you can learn free on the Internet - if you know where to look By Vicky Hallett ...Free online tools have been a particular boon to parents. To teach her 13- and 16-year-olds, Kathleen Viglietta of Brookfield, Ill., uses the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory site (www.fnal.gov); its resources range from K-12 instructional materials to streaming video talks geared to older learners. Dan Stivers, who home-schools his daughters, 10-year-old Alyssia and 8-year-old Adriana, says he has fallen in love with Open Course Ware, especially a linear algebra class with Prof. Gilbert Strang. Although his kids are still years away from understanding most of the material, Stivers purchased Strang's textbook and is showing them some simple equations. read more |

Time to Turn Back the Clock! Daylight Saving Time Ends This Sunday It's time to fall back. Daylight Saving Time ends on October 26 at 2:00 a.m., so don't forget to turn back your clock one hour on Saturday night or Sunday morning. If you have ever wondered why we have Daylight Saving Time, you are not alone. The idea actually originated in
Change Your Clock - Change Your Battery |
The end of Daylight Saving Time is also a good time to remind you to change
the batteries in your smoke detectors. The Fermilab Fire Department
advises you to check your smoke detectors monthly for proper operation.
Statistics show that properly working smoke detectors saves lives.
If you have any questions about smoke detectors, contact the
Fermilab Fire Department at x3428.
