The future’s so bright, Cheeto’s gotta wear shades!

LOGO STAR

Cheeto, a beloved campus cat, is the star of this year’s TGFS logo, created by Mark Deamer and Tobi Paton of Information and Educational Technology. You can get the Cheeto logo on a T-shirt, but only if you order by midnight Monday (April 18).

And you should, too, because Thank Goodness for Staff, organized by Staff Assembly, is back in person, outside, on a hopefully sunny day, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 11, on Russell Field. Tents will be set up for shade, but sunhats and sunblock are also a good idea. See the TGFS webpage for more information about what you might want to bring.

Staff Assembly, the organizer, will hold TGFS for alternate shift workers from 8 to 11 p.m. the night before, Tuesday, May 10, at Putah Creek Lodge.

TGFS week will conclude with a free drive-in movie for everyone at 8 p.m. Friday (May 13). Load the family into the car and head on out to the West Wind Drive-In, 9616 Oates Drive, Sacramento, to see Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. The PG-rated movie runs for 1 hour and 55 minutes. Register here for the movie.

Lunch is served

Food trucks will serve lunch during the daytime event, which also will feature photo opportunities with Gunrock and dunking opportunities with Chancellor Gary S. May (in the dunk tank!), as well as photo booths and caricature artists. The Vendor and Sponsor Showcase will feature local businesses and campus departments offering information, deals and prizes.

Departments and units are taking sign-ups from people wishing to attend either event, daytime or nighttime. Orders are due by 5 p.m. Friday, April 22.

TGFS also includes recreation events, some of which are still taking signups:

• Tennis Tournament — Saturday, April 30. Register by April 16 to participate in our round-robin competition.
• Golf Tournament — Saturday, May 21. Register and pay online through May 6.
