Missouri's annual "State Employee Recognition Week" is under way through Friday.
"It is a time to show appreciation to the employees who ensure that our government is the best in the world," the state Office of Administration noted on its special web page, www.serd.mo.gov.
A main highlight of the week is "State Employee Recognition Day" - Thursday, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on the Capitol's South Lawn.
