IMPORTANT NOTICE!  The Chesapeake Post meetings will be held at the Top of the Bay on Aberdeen Proving Ground. We are proud to announce a series of high profile speakers including Major General W.B. (Bo Temple) USACE, Deputy Commanding General Military and International Operations, Washington.  You can register for the meeting and get directions on our web site at www.same-chesapeake.org.  Meetings are luncheons typically held from 1130 hours to 1330 hours.

Our Student Mentoring Committee has been very busy reaching out to middle school and college students in the Baltimore Area.  On February 3, fifty seventh grade students from the Baltimore Area participated in our Baltimore Post Easy as Pi event.  The students learned about meteorology, sustainability, and other fun topics, as they were introduced to what they might do if they pursue a career in math or sciences.  Our thanks to the many firms who contributed to this great event, and, of course, to the committee members and speakers who gave up their time and effort to reach out to help touch these young minds.  For local college students, our Student Mentoring Committee is busy planning sessions to discuss how to succeed in your career and retirement planning plus a spring field trip.  The career sessions will be held on March 2nd and 3rd and the field trip to the Naval Warfare Carderock Center on April 2nd.  If you are interested in participating in any of these activities, please contact Emily Devillier, Emily.N.Devillier@usace.army.mil.

Our annual Day with an Engineer was a big success with over twenty-five firms participating this year.   As part of Engineers Week, we sponsored over fifty high school students visiting member firms for their Day on February 18.  Again, what a great way to influence our future young engineers!  Thank you to Abbie Adams for her leadership of our program this year.  Of course, thank you to all the firms who so graciously hosted students.

Our Young Member Committee is also busy with outreach activities to future engineers.  On Saturday, January 17, several YMs gave up their time to participate as judges on the Future Cities Competition.  Again, as an activity spawned by Engineers Week, local middle school students research, write an essay, prepare a model, and present their vision of a future city.  We have invited the future cities to display their model at our April 15 meeting, so be sure to put it on your calendar.  Thanks to our YMs for their help influencing future engineers!

Support the Troops - Please help support deployed soldiers and their families by participating in our Support Our Troops Contest!  All donations will be sent to USACE Persian Gulf Region.  The Contest runs through 01 May 2009.  Winners will be recognized at the May recognition meeting.  Current Standings:  More Info  Updated 3/30/09
