Description: Dear fellow Pumpkineers,Well, it's that time of year again,  
when thoughts begin to turn toward fall goings-on, and my thoughts in  
particular turn toward the MIT Great Glass Pumpkin Patch. This year the  
Pumpkin Patch will be held in Kresge Oval during the first weekend in  
October, that is October 2-4. Friday will be the opening (5-7 PM), and  
Saturday the sale (10AM-3PM). Sunday will be the rain date. This coming  
patch will be our 9th (!) annual fundraiser for the Glass Lab, and thanks  
to a successful string of past pumpkin sales, the program is going strong.
In other news: late last year we kicked off the Glass Lab  
renovation/endowment initiative, and, despite a lousy economy, that is  
going well. Also, this spring a short documentary (with a fundraising  
slant) about the Glass Lab was made in collaboration with MIT students in  
the Comparative Media Studies Program. Soon, you should be able to view  
that by going to the Glass Lab website. And finally, I'm pleased to  
announce that our 2009 Page Hazlegrove Lecturer will be Venetian Glass  
Master Lino Tagliapietra. More on that later.
But to the task at hand: I would like to invite you to volunteer to help us  
with the sale, and I hope you can join us this year.The times will be very  
much like last year: Friday 10/2 we will spend all day transporting  
pumpkins and setting up for the opening under the tent. Saturday,  
volunteers will congregate by 8:00 AM (many earlier), set up the sale, and  
at 10:00 the mayhem will begin. Things always work better if we have LOTS  
of volunteers. You can reply directly to this email.
So I hope your fall plans will include participating in the MIT Great Glass  
Pumpkin Patch. We always have a great group of volunteers, and I'm hoping  
many of you will return. Feel free to ask a friend, too!
Yours,Peter-- Peter HoukDirector, Glass LabDepartment of Materials Science
