A Phoenix celebration is scheduled for Thursday, March 9.

The Tucson celebration will include a classic car show, an appearance by Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat, and informational displays of the wide variety of services and programs provided by state employees.

"I join Governor Hull in recognizing the extraordinary accomplishments and commitment of state employees. I encourage UA employees to attend this celebration, and I request supervisors grant release time to support employee participation in this state-sponsored event," said University of Arizona President Peter Likins.

Scheduled to speak is Arizona Secretary of State Betsy Bayless and state Rep. Herschella Horton, D-Tucson.
