November 1 Briefs Excerpts: 

United Way Pledge Campaign Ends Nov. 6 
There’s less than one week left to show your support for our communities by donating to the annual United Way of the Virginia Peninsula campaign. Your contribution to the United Way, no matter the sum, provides critical services and supplies to those in need in our community. After-school programs, affordable daycare, transportation for the elderly, hospice care, job training for the less fortunate and even food and shelter are just some of the benefits that result from your donations. All pledge forms should be returned to Krystina Patrick, Mail Stop 12B, CEBAF Center Room B214 by Monday, Nov. 6. See the full memo for a link to the form and more information: https://www.jlab.org/memo/jlab-united-way-appeal-oct-9-kick-social

Join us in celebrating her contributions to the lab at a reception being held in CEBAF Center room F113 on Wednesday, Nov. 8 in the afternoon, 3:30-5 p.m. Additionally, share your warm wishes and fondest memories with Fulvia by signing a framed picture; the picture will be available for signing in the MCC Conference Room (Bldg. 85) on Nov. 6, in the Test Lab (Bldg. 58 - near office 2238) on Nov. 7, and in the CEBAF Center atrium (Bldg. 12) on Nov. 8 until noon. 

Tornado Warning Siren Test Set for Friday, Nov. 3 
Jefferson Lab's tornado warning siren will undergo its monthly operational test at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov 3. Don't respond to the siren; this is a test of the siren system and not a personnel response exercise. Individuals planning to be in the Central Materials Storage Area (where the siren is located) while the test is taking place must have with them and wear two layers of hearing protection. 

Veterans: Last Chance to Participate in Recognition Display 
In recognition of Veterans Day, veterans of military service are invited to submit a photo of themselves in uniform for inclusion in a collage to be displayed in CEBAF Center prior to Veterans Day. If you want to submit a new photo, send to Mike Robbins by Nov. 3. Remember to include your full name, branch of service, and years of service. If you do not have a digital copy of your photo, employees can bring in a picture to CEBAF Center, room C222 to be scanned. For more information, contact Mike Robbins at mrobbins at jlab.org or x7617.

Sign Up for Lab Severe Weather Status Notices via Text/Phone 
Staff and Users may sign up to receive Jefferson Lab Site-Wide Alert pager messages on your personal mobile phone. These messages could include severe weather advisories, laboratory closing and delayed opening notices and other types of emergency messages. In addition, Jefferson Lab uses an automated phone message system to call the home or mobile phone numbers of lab staff and members of its scientific Users group in the event of a delayed opening or a closure due to unplanned events such as severe weather. Staff and Users may update the contact information for that system as well.
