Bring family members to the Center's Sept.
15-16 Open House Celebration!
It'll be upbeat. It'll
be fun. It'll be interesting. And it'll be the kind of event
to which you will want to bring the whole family. The event,
of course, is the Center's 25th anniversary Open House Celebration,
set for 2-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15 (primarily for faculty and
staff), and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 16 (for the general
public). Here's a rundown of some of the highlights of those
two days: n Face-painting,
balloon animals, coloring and more for the kids. n Cooking demonstrations by leading
Seattle chefs who will show the preparation of health and delicious
recipes. n Displays
showing what it's like to work in a laboratory, including the
art of micro-pipetting, DNA spooling and proper hand-washing.
nPersonalized cancer
risk assessments. n
A blood and marrow drive, a great opportunity for Hutch faculty
and staff to get on the marrow registry. n A chance to meet baseball players
who played with the Center's namesake. n A graphic timeline of Hutch history.
n A sale of Hutch
logo items. For more information on the Open House Celebration,
call Robbie Phillips at Ext. 4285. If you would like to volunteer
