[deborah magaldi]

  *Come, Enjoy JLab Oktoberfest on Oct. 27.  Volunteers Needed to Help 
With Event.
Bring a Nonperishable Food Donation for Food Drive Oct. 20-27.*

JLab employees, their immediate family members and users are invited to 
the Jefferson Lab Activities Group/JSA Oktoberfest on Wednesday, Oct. 
27, from 3-6 p.m. in the field behind the SURA Residence Facility.

The event is for everyone at JLab, and volunteer participation is 
critical to its success, according to Dave Williams, JAG chair. Many 
volunteer positions need to be filled -- primarily field games 
assistants, kids' arts/crafts/tattoos attendants, food tent assistants 
and snack attendants. To volunteer, visit the JAG Oktoberfest volunteer 
sign-up webpage today.

The Oktoberfest will feature Brunswick stew, chili, grilled foods and 
beverages, an adults' costume contest and games and activities for all 
ages. The games and activities are listed below and on the event poster 
on the JAG webpage. Children are encouraged to wear costumes.

To share our good fortune with those in the community who are in need, 
JAG is sponsoring a Peninsula Food Bank Food Drive Oct. 20-27, according 
to Williams. Please bring new, canned or boxed, nonperishable food items 
to the food drive drop boxes located in the ARC, VARC, MCC, CEBAF Center 
and Test Lab lobbies. Food donation drop barrels will be near the entry 
points to the Res. Facility field the day of the Oktoberfest. All 
donations will be delivered by the JAG to the Peninsula Food Bank.

During the Oktoberfest winning tickets also will be drawn for the two 
iPads that are part of the lab's United Way fund-raising campaign. 
Tickets are $1 each and are available for purchase from 12-1 p.m. Monday 
through Friday in the CEBAF Center lobby. All raffle ticket proceeds go 
to the United Way.

Parking for the Oktoberfest: Please park your vehicle in the expanded 
CEBAF Center parking lot and walk to the field. Please don't park your 
vehicle in the Residence Facility lot or along Rattley Road.
