[Glass-mit] Save the date! 2022 MIT Great Glass Pumpkin Patch

[Peter Houk]

Dear Pumpkin Patch volunteers, past, present, and future,



Here is my traditional midsummer MIT Great Glass Pumpkin Patch shout-out
and call for volunteers!

Finally, after some pandemic-related uncertainty, the details of the 2022
Pumpkin Patch are now coming into focus. This year the sale will again be a
hybrid one – part online and part in-person.

The in-person sale will be, as always, in Kresge Oval and will take place
on *Saturday, September 24th from 10AM to 3PM*.  The preview opening will
be on *Friday, September 23rd, from 5-8PM.* One big difference this year is
that there will already be a VERY large tent on the oval, so we will not
need to reserve Sunday, September 25 as a rain date. In the event of rain,
all the pumpkins will fit under the tent.

Mostly this is just a save-the-date notice, but it’s also an early call for
volunteers who already know they want to participate in the sale and would
like me to add their names to the volunteer roster. As summer wanes and
fall approaches, it makes me feel good to know that we have a bunch of
returning volunteers, so feel free to contact me and let me know that
you’ll be back, and what kind of job you would like to have at the sale. If
you have questions about jobs, fire away. More detail to follow.

After collecting your responses into a mailing list, I’ll be back in touch
sometime in August or early September with a much longer email containing
more detail and updates.

SO, please do get back to me if you know you’ll be with us this fall, and
then please go back to the beach or dive back into that great book or
however you are spending the heart of the summer, and we’ll look forward to
seeing you in the fall!

Peter
