Need to get rid of your old sofa or some shelving before you move?

Looking for a coffee table to fill out your living room?

Cleaning out the apartment and found two blenders and an asparagus cooker you have no use for?

Just arrived at MIT and eating on the floor because you have no furniture?

Take heart, stuff-challenged students: help is on the way!

Whether you are moving out, moving in, or just cleaning up, the annual Edgerton Brunch and Yard Sale is the place to be. On Saturday, August 5th, starting at 11 am, bring things to sell or money to buy to the Edgerton Courtyard. The sale will be advertised across campus, so there will be plenty of people selling and plenty of people to buy stuff! Brunch will be served starting at 11am and lasting until we run out of food. Tables will be provided, or bring an old blanket and sell off the grass. Trying to sell a sofa or other item too large to bring? Bring a photograph with your contact info to hang on the Furniture Board instead. All members of the MIT community are welcome to buy AND sell items. This is a great way to furnish your apartment or get rid of unwanted stuff before the school year begins, and it's right in your backyard!

Our First Year Rep Kevin Boyle put together a new Edgerton Orientation Guide to help new and continuing residents get to know Edgerton, MIT, and the Boston area. You can find it in the "Information For New Students" link at the left. We hope you find this useful, let us know if you have any suggestions to improve the guide!

Previously known as the "Interdorm Summer Olympics," Edgerton, Sidney-Pacific,
Ashdown, Westgate, Eastgate, and the GSC are proud to present the Graduate
Summer Picnic, an afternoon filled with sports, fun, and free-food. In
addition to pick-up games of soccer, ultimate frisbee and volleyball, there
will be kid-friendly picnic games, water balloons and face painting. We are
also excited to present the band Flyswitch, who will be performing live
starting at 4:30 pm. There will be abundant free food provided by Sepal.

When: 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm, SATURDAY 7/22/2006
Where: Brigg's Field and Astroturf
Who: All graduate students welcome

For your convenience, I'm selling blank CDs for $0.25 apiece for the computer in the small lounge. This way you can use the small lounge computer to burn CDs (just use the "CD/DVD Creator" in the "Places" tab in the menu and drag your files into the window). Since I think it's more convenient for everyone if you can buy CDs whenever you want, I'm going to leave the CDs by the computer and trust you guys to pay for any CDs you use by depositing coins in the cup on top of the computer. Periodically I'll collect the money and bring out more blank CDs. If this works well and people like this system, I'll keep doing it. Otherwise I'll think of something else. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions, and email me if you want the login and password for the lounge computer.

Your IT Chair,
George

I've brought the small lounge public computer back online. You can use it for web browsing and burning CDs. Soon we will be getting a new scanner and speakers for it as well. Just email me to get the login and password for the computer. We are also going to set up a computer in the front lobby to display the latest announcements and let you do things such as check the MIT shuttle schedules. Let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions for the lounge or lobby computers.

Your IT Chair,
George
