[All_jlab_accounts] Call for Volunteers for May 17 Open House: A Message from Hugh Montgomery, JLab Director

[Pat Stroop]

Dear Colleague,

Every two years, we hold an Open House at Jefferson Lab; this is an open 
house year, and the event is scheduled for Saturday, May 17.

The Open House is the lab’s most important and largest public outreach 
effort. In 2012, between 7,000 and 8,000 people attended; and we are 
expecting at least as large a turnout this year. The visitors were 
excited to see many of the lab’s facilities and were interested to learn 
about what we do.

The key to the success of Open House is our volunteers – you and your 
co-workers, members of our user community, students, and even our family 
members over 13 years of age – are needed to fill a wide variety of 
volunteer taskings for the event.

This year, we are planning to show portions of the CEBAF tunnel; Halls 
A, C and D; the Test Lab/TEDF complex, portions of CEBAF Center, the 
Machine Control Center and a portion of the Free-Electron Laser 
Facility. Many other lab workgroups will have displays and exhibits set 
up under tents and in conference rooms and lobby areas.

We need volunteers of all sorts – those who like to speak to our 
visitors and those who prefer not speak, those with special knowledge 
and those who would like to be a pair of hands. We need scientists and 
non-scientists, engineers and non-engineers. You can work the whole 
event (8 hours) or a four-hour shift (morning or afternoon).

To volunteer, you can sign up online at:

Please sign up by Monday, April 14. If you have any questions, contact 
Open House Volunteer Coordinator Tina Menefee at menefee at jlab.org or 
768-4030.

I hope you can join us. It’s a fun time.

Regards,
Mont
