[Glass-mit] 2013 MIT Great Glass Pumpkin Patch call for volunteers!

[Peter Houk]

Hello friends of glass, pumpkins, and glass pumpkins,
Somehow it's already mid-August, and a little voice in the back of my head
is beginning to murmur something about pumpkins and the fall.
Truth be told, I have already had a number of inquiries from out-of-town
people wanting to know the dates of this year's Pumpkin Patch so that they
can plan their travel, and so that little voice has now moved into the
front of the head.
And so:
This year's MIT Great Glass Pumpkin Patch will be during the final weekend
of September: the opening will be on Friday, September 27th (from 5 to 8PM,
as usual), and the sale will be on Saturday (10AM to 3PM), September 28th.
And the rain date (please, no...) is Sunday, September 29th.
If you have volunteered at the sale before, we would *love* to have you
back. Bring a friend! If you have never been a volunteer at the Patch
before, maybe this is the year you can finally join us.
Most. if not all of you know that the Pumpkin Patch is a really big deal
for us: this event is our sole funding source for the Glass Lab's
activities and we depend on it completely to keep the program afloat
year-to-year. Which means that we depend on your help completely to make
the whole thing work.
There will be more emails from me as the date gets closer, with lots more
details about what/when/where, but for now I'd like to get a sense from
those who know that they can   join us as volunteers this year so that I
can start to fill in my roster.
OK, get back to enjoying what's left of the summer, and I'll be back in
touch in a couple of weeks.
Best,
Peter

PS: for volunteers, the usual perks still apply: free t-shirts and
refreshments, and early shopping privileges.
