TO ALL ICTP SCIENTISTS, STAFF AND CONSULTANTS

OPEN DAY 20 SEPTEMBER: UPDATE PROGRAMME AND CALL FOR ASSISTANCE

Status meeting tomorrow,  Wednesday 6 August, at 11 am,  in room C, Leonardo Building
The preparations for the Open Day have been ongoing for some months, and the final program is about to be drawn up. We have contributions from our scientists and will be having interesting talks, interventions and scientific stands as usual. We have some new experiments under preparation by the scientists and have also received several good proposals from staff for the activities for the day. A Children's Corner with a great program for the kids has been prepared by a volunteer; the Fund for Hunger will be present (and is also calling upon your help) and we are gradually obtaining a bit of sponsorship.

Now the time has come to call upon Staff for signing up as volunteers. As for the last two Open Days, we need assistance in many areas: for reception and registration of visitors, information giving, distribution of gadgets, guiding the groups, guiding on the parking place, shuttle transportation etc., etc.

Please come to the information meeting on tomorrow 6/8 for an update on the programme, and for further information on the assistance needed.
In case you cannot attend the meeting, please make contact with Cinzia Giancovich - ext 591- or Leo de Pol - ext. 504 - regarding info and our availability and preferences as a volunteer.

I look forward to meeting all of you on tomorrow and thank you in advance for
your kind cooperation.
