Ed and the troops need some supplies to keep them comfortable in Afghanistan. We will use this dinner as a drop off point so the Feds can send a care package to thank them for their service.
Here is some ideas:
Foods that you can add water and eat (instant soup, instant anything)
Healthy snacks (it is a lot easier to skip or miss a meal if you have something to chew on)
Individual packets for Gatorade and other drinks (it helps in the heat)
M&Ms (everyone needs al little chocolate now and then)
Nuts (all nuts are an easy to carry/store source of protein)
Soap and other items
Socks and other clothes of necessity (Remember, knee high socks to help us combat the disease-carrying sand flies)
The SigEp Feds have teamed up with the alumni ladies of ΔΖ to host social mixer at CarPool lounge, bar and grill. Details can be found below. We hope you can make it.
Why: It will be nice to sit outside, enjoy a cold drink, and socialize. There is also darts, pool and other fun entertainment to check-out. So come out for our happy hour and even do so good old-fashioned networking too!
Brother Armie Cortinez was kind enough to put this video together for us from the SigEp Feds and ΚΔ Mixer on February 7, 2009. Sure puts me in the mood for Spring and Summer events with the SigEp Feds. What do you think? Leave us a comment below.
Brothers, we have had a lot of feedback come to us about the SigEp Feds Cat in the Hat Month event. Here are just a couple of the kind words we have received about two of our participants on Read Across America Day.
To the SigEp Feds,
I just wanted to let you know that Roger Gilbertson came in last week, Wednesday because of the weather, and the kids had a fantastic time. He was a great Dr. Seuss representative and it was definitely a fun break from the normal everyday operations. We definitely want to stay on your list for next year!
Thank you,
Samantha Long Education Director Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington Mary & Daniel Loughran Clubhouse #10 2500 14th Street NW Washington, DC 20009
Hi,
Thank you very much for the opportunity for Ed Potter to read to our students. He did a great job the students really enjoyed it. We would definitely like to do this again next year.

Many thanks to those who participated in this year's Cat in the Hat Month, it was a huge sucess and a special thanks to Brandt Heatherington, who organized the event for us. Thanks, big guy, we couldn't have done it without you.
Below is a message from Brother, Brandt Heatherington. We are still looking for volunteers for Cat in the Hat Month. Please contact Brandt and let him know that you would like to participate.
Brothers: An outstanding effort! We will be reading in over a dozen schools in March and introducing kids to the magic of our brother Theodore Geisel's work, a.k.a. Doctor Seuss! We still need to cover two schools that have requested a reader and they are listed below. Please step up and give us a hand! Every SigEp who has done this has had a wonderful experience.
We still need [a] reader(s) for the following location:
