All of the kids who participated in the contest did an amazing job. So much so, that Argonne will feature all 48 art submissions in the Bldg. 201 lobby art gallery from January 11 to March 3, 2017, as part of the “Safety by Kids” art display.
An artists’ reception will be held on Monday, January 16, 2017, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Bldg. 201 lobby. Milk and cookies will be served.
2017 calendar distribution
Distribution of Argonne’s 2017 calendar will begin immediately.
Environment, Safety and Quality Assurance will be providing each Argonne employee with one 2017 Argonne calendar at no cost to the divisions. Additional calendars may be ordered through Argonne Stores in AMOS for a fee. This is a change from previous years, when it was necessary for divisions to order and purchase calendars for Argonne employees.
