Dear Colleagues:<br>
<br>
Jefferson Lab's United Way campaign kicks-off today, Oct. 8; and i
hope that you will join me and lab leadership in supporting this
worthwhile effort. As part of today's kick-off, we are holding our
annual fund-raiser picnic, from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. in Quark
Cafe. Hot dogs, hamburgers, soda and chips will be sold to raise
money for the United Way and will be served by lab senior
management. These food items are being generously donated by our
Quark Cafe contractor, Eurest. <br>
<br>
Quark Cafe will be open with a limited sidedish menu, salad and soup
bar, and self-serve deli items for regular purchase.<br>
<br>
We also will be selling $1 raffle tickets during the picnic for a
chance to win one of two iPads.<br>
<br>
All proceeds from the ticket sales, as well as all food donations,
will go to the United Way. The winning raffle tickets will be
announced at the JAG Oktoberfest on Oct. 24.<br>
<br>
A United Way Pledge Form is linked here for your convenience:

forms are available at the front desks of the SSC, ARC, MCC, and
CEBAF center. All forms should be returned to Joshua Cameron in
Human Resources by Oct. 24. <br>
<br>
It's once again time to show support for our communities by donating
to the annual United Way of the Virginia Peninsula campaign. Your
contributions to the United Way go a long way toward providing
critical services and supplies to those in our community who are in
need. After-school programs, affordable daycare, transportation for
the elderly, hospice care, job training for the disabled and even
food and shelter are just some of the benefits that result from your
donations.<br>
<br>
The City of Newport News has been very kind to Jefferson Lab over
the years, providing everything from free emergency services to
buildings and leasing-back at cost to space in the Applied Research
Center building to enthusiastic support at the state and national
levels for the lab's scientific endeavors. A generous contribution
by all of us at the lab is one way of giving back to a community
that has been so good to us, while also setting an example for
others to follow.<br>
<br>
I know many of your friends and family have been assisted by United
Way - mine certainly have. Please join me, this year's fund raising
chairman, in making this our biggest and best campaign ever for
United Way.<br>
<br>
Heartfelt thanks,<br>
Mike Dallas<br>
