Tornado Relief Donations sent to Red Cross

Lab staff donated $940 to the Red Cross to help people whose lives and homes were devastated by tornadoes this spring in Oklahoma.

The contributions were sent to the Red Cross Tornado Relief Fund in Oklahoma City in June.

Jacqueline Bacon, Director's Office staff, collected and forwarded all donations to the tornado relief fund. She and the entire Director's Office staff thank everyone who made donations.

"This money will help people get back on their feet," Bacon said. "The tornado devastation isn't in the news anymore, but for many people impacted by the natural disaster, the repair work and healing are just now beginning." Donations to assist with tornado relief may still be made by calling your local Red Cross office or by visiting the Red Cross web page at www.redcross.org.

Traffic flow limited while Canon Blvd. entrance gets Guard Post

A guard booth is being constructed on CEBAF Blvd., about 300 feet from the Canon Blvd. gate. Construction should be completed by the end of September.

During the construction phase, only one lane of CEBAF Blvd. will be open for limited (one way) use. The Canon Blvd. gate will be open during its scheduled morning and evening hours. However, traffic will be limited to incoming traffic in the morning and departing traffic in the evening.

Since there will be only one lane open for nearly 200 feet, do not use the Canon gate for leaving the site in the morning or for entering the site in the evening. Please use extreme caution when passing the guard booth construction area. If you have any questions, call or page Suresh Chandra at ext, 7248.
