13. ACTIVITY
Today at 11 o'clock there will be a total eclipse of
the sun. This is when the sun disappears behind
the moon for two minutes. As this is something
that cannot be seen every day, time will be
allowed for employees to view the eclipse in the
parking lot. Staff should meet in the lot at ten to
eleven, when I will deliver a short speech
introducing the eclipse, and giving some
background information. Safety goggles will be
made available at a small cost
