Employee Recognition
Please join us at one o'clock as we celebrate the commitment, spirit, and hard work of all our employees. Your efforts have made the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution a world leader in ocean sciences. Those completing 10, 20, 30, or 40 years of WHOI service in 2005 will be recognized, and the Vetlesen, Penzance, Linda Morse-Porteous, and Ryan C. Schrawder awards will be presented.

Classic Car Show
A '56 Morgan, an Austin-Healy 3000, and a Porsche 911 are just some of the cars that will be up for view at WHOI's first-ever classic car show. Owners of vintage and sports cars are invited to display their treasures for the enjoyment of all attending the 75th Anniversary Employee Party.
To sign up or get more information contact: Terry McKee (tmckee@whoi.edu, x. 2685)

Arts and crafts show
An indoor exhibit called "On Our Own Time" will showcase the creative hobbies of WHOI employees in their time outside work. Items on display will range from needlework creations to numismatic collections and from photography to philately. The exhibit is intended to provide the opportunity to appreciate unknown talents of our co-workers or perhaps discover a shared interest. If you have a hobby or unusual collection that you would like to display, let us know about it.

Silent Auction
The proceeds of a silent auction of goods and services donated by WHOI employees for WHOI employees will benefit the Falmouth Service Center and the Cape Cod Free Clinic. You could donate a photograph, a ride on your boat, or a free lesson in something you excel at; promise to bake a cake, deliver loaves of bread, or provide a family meal; or offer sewing services, bike repair, kid or pet sitting, lawn mowing, window washing. The possibilities are endless, and this offers a chance to get to know fellow employees better while supporting worthy causes.

Employee photo loop
We're assembling a photo loop featuring WHOI employees past and present to show at the party. You're invited to submit up to three of your best work-related (including work-related travel) photos in digital format for possible inclusion in the loop.
Please send photos to Melissa Lamont (mlamont@whoi.edu, ext. 3396), mentioning 75th anniversary in the subject line and providing caption information.

WHOI T-shirt display
Many cool WHOI or WHOI group T-shirt designs have been printed over the years. Check your closets and drawers for any you may have and bring them along to display during the party and take home afterward.
Contacts: Hovey Clifford (hclifford@whoi.edu, ext. 2341) and Dave Dubois (ddubois@whoi.edu, ext. 2586).

Musical talents
Individual employees or groups that include WHOI employees are invited to give brief musical performances during the party.
Share your tunes by contacting: Ann Devenish (adevenish@whoi.edu, ext. 2865).
