A private breakfast or lunch with Laboratory Director Michael Anastasio, artwork, handmade jewelry and crafts, gift baskets, and homemade food items are just some of the items Laboratory employees can place electronic bids on to raise money for the Laboratory's employee-giving campaign. The Experimental Physical Sciences Directorate (ADEPS) is sponsoring Bid&Buy to raise funds for the giving campaign. Items are being accepted for the online auction. Contact Theresa Quintana of Polymers and Coatings (MST-7) at 7-6887 or bidbuy@lanl.gov by e-mail to donate items for the online auction.
