*Holiday Party for Lab Children and Young at Heart on Dec. 14*

The JAG Holiday Party is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 14, from 10 a.m. 
to 1 p.m. in the CEBAF Center lobby. All employees, contractors, users 
and their children are invited. Each family is encouraged to bring a 
new, unopened, unwrapped toy for the Marine Corp's Toys For Tots toy drive.

Get your picture taken with Santa Claus. He plans to drop by with snow 
dogs, Nikko and Tally. (Owners of the Samoyed dogs, Dan and Kim Young, 
Physics Division, are members of the JAG Dog Training Club, and Nikko 
and Tally are trained service dogs.)

Come and enjoy holiday themed games and crafts, and light snacks 
including ice cream made the scientific way (Yes, the always favorite, 
liquid nitrogen ice cream). The event will also include face painting, 
balloon animals, pictures with Santa, and to end the day, BEAMS staff 
members will conduct their famous Cryogenics Show.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

*Toys For Tots Toy Drive Underway*
As in past years, Jefferson Lab is participating in the U.S. Marine 
Corps' annual Toys For Tots toy drive. Bring your donation of new, 
unopened, unwrapped toys for children ages 1-12 and deposit them in the 
collection boxes located in the lobbies of the main lab buildings. The 
deadline for putting donations in a drop box is noon Friday, Dec. 13; or 
bring a toy to the JAG Holiday Party. Local Marines will pick the toys 
up during the holiday party and distribute them to less fortunate 
children in the community.

Marked toy drop boxes are located near the main entrances of CEBAF 
Center, MCC, SSC, ARC and TED Buildings. For more information about the 
Toys For Tots program, visit: www.toysfortots.org

*Ready, Set, Hang Those Decorations***

The JAG is sponsoring a Holiday Office Door and Cubicle Decorating 
Contest. Prizes will be awarded for the Best Decorated, Most Original, 
and Silliest. All employees, users and contractors with an office or 
cubicle may enter the contest (individual or group entries).

To enter, email JAG Chair Mary Jo Bailey at mbailey at jlab.org 
<mailto:mbailey at jlab.org>by 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13. Include your 
name(s), building number and office/cube number and location. Judging 
will take place Dec. 17. Winning entries will be announced on Dec. 18.

Decorations may go up as early as Dec. 2 and should be taken down by 
Jan. 3, 2014. Decorating materials must be fire resistant and only 
UL-approved lighting/electronics may be used. No unwrapped food items or 
open flames are allowed. Everyone is reminded to turn off and unplug all
