October 24 Briefs Excerpts:

Come Out and Enjoy JAG Oktoberfest!
JLab employees, their immediate family members, users and students are invited to the Jefferson Activities Group Oktoberfest scheduled for today, 3-6 p.m. in the field behind the SURA Residence Facility. A variety of foods will be available, as well as games and activities, including a Cornhole Tournament (must register in advance, see brief), Bounce House, Treasure in a Haystack, Pumpkin Toss, Candy Jar Guessing Game, Children's Arts and Crafts, Field Games and JAG Dog Training Club Canine Costume Parade. Everyone attending is encouraged to wear a costume. Also, the winning raffle tickets will be drawn for the two iPads that are part of the lab's United Way fund-raising campaign.

Drivers Speak Out – Commuter Survey Results
About one-third of the lab’s staff and users who participated in a recent commuter poll say they would join a carpool program, if the lab offered one. The remaining two-thirds of those surveyed say carpooling would not work for them, citing family obligations (transporting children to school or daycare, etc.) and irregular work schedules as barriers to their participation. A total of 480 people took the survey, providing valuable information as the lab looks to develop programs to grow its sustainability program. The survey also found support for telecommuting and alternate work schedules as a way to lessen the number of commuters. Survey results: http://www.jlab.org/docs/Final-Brief.pdf 

Mobile Mammography Unit Onsite in December
The Sentara Mobile Mammography Unit will be at JLab on Dec. 10, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. in the ARC parking lot. Mammography detects breast cancer, and The American Cancer Society recommends scheduling your first or baseline mammogram by age 40. It only takes 15 minutes. This service is open to all employees as well as their family members or friends as personal health insurances will be billed. To make an appointment, call 1-800-SENTARA (736-8272) or visit the Sentara website: http://www.sentara.com/HealthInfo/Pages/Classes-Events.aspx
