Toys for MIT Parking Tickets

[Janet Fischer]

MIT Police, MIT Parking and Transportation and MIT Medical are again 
teaming up to offer you an opportunity to give to those less 
fortunate this holiday season.

 From Monday, November 27 through Monday, December 18, 2006 you can 
donate a new, non-violent, *unwrapped* toy or a gift of warm winter 
clothing (hats, mittens, socks, etc.).  Toys and gifts can be dropped 
of at MIT Medical (E23), at the MIT Police Station (W89, 301 Vassar 
St.) or at the Parking and Transportation Office (W20-Lower Level of 
the Student Center).

If you happened 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
the parking violation, the toy and receipt to the parking office between
November 27th 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.

All gifts will be accepted between November 27 and December 18th. The
gifts will be distributed to needy families who are living in the 
neighborhoods abutting the MIT campus.
