[Cp-bulletin] MIT Toys for Tickets

[Sgt. Cheryl Vossmer]

If you happen to have received that unwanted MIT parking ticket -
this past year - the MIT Parking and Transportation Office will once
again sponsor a *"Toys for Tickets'* program. Yes, it really is true!
Instead of paying the fine on an outstanding MIT parking violation, the
parking office will accept new, unopened toys to settle the ticket. Just
bring in the parking violation along with the cash register receipt to
the parking office before Wednesday, December 17th, 2008. This program is
open to anyone who has an outstanding MIT parking ticket. The value of
the toy or game must be of equal or greater value than the parking
violation. The Parking Office is located in the basement of the
Student Center, W20-022. 

We are also collecting new, non-violent, unwrapped toys and new warm
clothing for those much less fortunate again this year. Toys and
clothing can be dropped off at MIT Medical,E23-205, Center for Health 
Promotion and Wellness, or the MIT Police Station at W89, 301 Vassar Street 
there is parking available for dropping off toys, and short business). 
All gifts will be distributed to the needy families who live in the 
neighborhoods abutting the MIT campus.

Also, if you need fingerprints for security clearance the normal $20 fee
will be waived. Just bring in the cash register receipt along with your
gift. Please schedule an appointment for finger prints with Sgt. Cheryl
Vossmer at x3-9755.This will only be offered between 
November 19 - December 17, 2008

Have you lost your MIT ID recently? Do you know there is a $15 replacement fee? 
This year the MIT Card Office will waive the replacement fee during between November 19 - December 17, 2008,
if you bring in a new toy and receipt of equal or greater value.



Please help us put a smile and some
warmth into the lives of needy families.

Sincerely,
Cheryl Vossmer - MIT Police
