Educ8kdz second annual trip to New Orleans is sponsoring a semi-formal masquerade ball with light hors d’oeuvres from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, February 28, at the Von Jakob Winery in Alto Pass.

Masquerade Ball--In the January 2009 issue of the COEHS Update, I provided information about the second annual trip to New Orleans being sponsored by Educ8kdz, which is a student organization of our Early Childhood Education Program in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.  Like last spring, the students and others who go on the trip will be helping out in a variety of ways in the post-Katrina schools and neighborhoods there.  In their continued attempts to secure funding for their trip, the organization is sponsoring a semi-formal masquerade ball with light hors d’oeuvres from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, February 28, at the Von Jakob Winery in Alto Pass.  Tickets, available in Room 322 of Wham Education Building, cost $10 for adults and $5 for children or $25 for a family.  Those attending may bring their own masks if they wish.  Organizers will have adults’ masks available; children will have the chance to make their own.  To find out more about the masquerade ball, or the New Orleans trip, contact Christie McIntyre, Assistant Professor, at 618-453-4245 or cherimc@siu.edu.
