Lunch Table...plus MIT Toy Drive

[Janet Fischer]

POSTDOC LUNCH TABLE!!
           

A chance to meet other postdocs, socialize informally, and network. Where else
can you meet other people roughly your age who are not the same old lab rats
you see every day?  By meeting other postdocs you can find out things you may
not yet know about, such as: How to pay only $6 for movie tickets, how to use a
free MIT sailboat even on full moon nights, when and where to find free meals
at MIT, where to find good food in Cambridge, where to dance tango for free on
a bridge over the river at night under the same full moon, and even how to get
your $150 refunded from your gym membership. Also, you can take the opportunity
to share concerns or gripes: how to get cheaper childcare, what to do about
health care, etc.  Maybe you arrived at MIT and feel that nobody gave you a
Real orientation? come here!

Drinks and dessert will be provided!  Free!!
so TAKE a BREAK from the LAB!!
Just come to the BioCafe (1st floor of Building 68, near the food 
trucks) TODAY at any time between 12:00 and 1:30, and look for the 
table with the
BLUE signs. We're all strangers unless we meet!

Organized by the Postdoc Advisory Council

Happy Holidays!

The Police at MIT, Parking and Transportation Office and Community 
Dining are offering you some
opportunities to give to those less fortunate this holiday season.

On Tuesday, December 9, from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm, come and enjoy free 
coffee and dessert with your donation of a new toy to the annual MIT 
Toy Drive. This will be held at Lobdell Food Court in the Stratton 
Student Center. If you can't make it to this event but would to 
donate a toy, they can be dropped off at Walker, Lobdell, the Dome 
Cafe or The Police at MIT. We ask that the toys be new and 
non-violent and unwrapped. If you don't want to buy toys but would 
like to make someone's holiday a little warmer - new clothes such as 
mittens, hats, socks, etc. are also welcomed. (See attached poster.)

Another great opportunity to give is through The MIT Parking and 
Transportation Office which will once again sponsor a 'Toys for 
Tickets' program this holiday season as part of the Annual MIT Toy 
Drive.
Instead of paying an outstanding MIT parking violation, the parking 
office will accept new,
unopened toys to settle the ticket.

Just bring the parking violation, the unwrapped toy and receipt to 
the parking office (E32)
between December 1st and December 18th. This program is open to 
anyone who has an
outstanding MIT parking violation, regardless of the date of violation. The
value of the toy or game must be of equal or greater value than the parking
violation.

The Parking Office is located in E32-105 and office hours are from 8:30AM to
4:30PM Monday through Friday. Most needed gifts are non-violent toys 
or games for a
child up to the age of 12. The gifts will be distributed to needy 
families who live in the area
of the MIT Campus.

Thank you and Happy Holidays from all of us in the Police at MIT, 
Parking and Transportation and Community Dining.
