JAG Announces Variety of Holiday Events, Activities  The holiday season is nearly here, and with it the Lab’s annual holiday events and activities. This year’s line-up includes the annual toy drive for the U.S. Marines Toys For Tots program. Collection boxes will be in the main entrance areas of all major Lab buildings Dec. 1-11. New, unwrapped toys may be placed in the boxes through the morning of the children’s holiday party. The Holiday Door Decorating contest has become so popular with Lab staff and users that it is again on the schedule, says Becky Nevarez, Jefferson Lab Activities Group co-chair. Anyone wishing to participate may start decorating their office doors or cubicles on Nov. 29. Judging will take place Dec. 15 —16 and winners will be announced Dec. 17. Call Nevarez at ext. 7236 or email her at nevarez@jlab.org to enter the contest. This year’s Space Age Children’s Holiday Party is set for Saturday, Dec. 11 from 10 a.m.— noon in CEBAF Center. Each family attending the party is asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy for the Toys For Tots box and a snack or finger food to share. The JAG will provide punch and table service. The party will include a variety of activities and games geared for children and the young at heart. Santa Claus is scheduled to visit. Cheryl Batten, Medical Services, is organizing the party and needs volunteers to supervise games and activities, serve punch, decorate CEBAF Center for the party and help with clean-up. Call her at ext. 6269 for more information. The adult holiday party follows on Saturday, Dec. 18, from 7 p.m.—1 a.m., at the Holiday Inn Hampton Hotel & Conference Center, 1815 W. Mercury Blvd. To get there from the Lab take Interstate 64 East to exit 263B (Mercury Blvd. & Hampton Coliseum). Merge onto Mercury but stay to the right as the entrance for the Holiday Inn is the very first driveway on the right after passing under the I-64 overpass. The evening will include heavy hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, prize drawings and a DJ spinning tunes. Special songs may be put on the DJ request list through the end of November. Anyone wishing to add a song to the request list should contact JAG co-chairs Becky Nevarez, ext. 7236 or Susan Esp, ext. 7520.
The Holiday Inn is offering special-rate guest rooms – $49 per room – the night of the party. Reservations may be made by calling 838-0200. Tickets for the party will go on sale before Thanksgiving.
