"CMLD-BU Field Day"
September 28, 2007 - The CMLD-BU hosted its first Field Day in Newton, MA
Researchers and staff from the CMLD and its affiliated research groups descended on Auburndale Cove Park in Newton for food and games. The day's events included a barbeque lunch, music, plenty silliness and horseplay. Lab members and couples sparred on the inflatable joust for bragging rights or to settle disputes; teams competed in a Funtathalon for medals; and horseshoes, bocce, frisbee, kickball and volleyball filled the afternoon. Special thanks go to Administrative Coordinator Sarah Coenen for all her hard work in putting the day together.
