Boston Globe Washington Post Bureau Chief Peter Canellos to discuss "Last Lion: The Fall & Rise of Ted Kennedy"
BU Washington Center
2807 Connecticut Ave NW
(Red line--Woodley Park Metro)
On Thursday March 26th at 7 p.m. the Boston University Washington Center will welcome Boston Globe Washington Bureau Chief Peter Canellos to talk about “Last Lion: The Fall and Rise of Ted Kennedy”.
The book, written by a team of Boston Globe reporters, considers Kennedy’s reputation as the most powerful senator of the last half century and the nation's keeper of traditional liberalism.
This revealing and intimate biography traces the youngest Kennedy brother’s political career complete with tragedies and missteps. He was once a symbol of youthful folly and nepotism, but Ted Kennedy transformed himself in his later years into a symbol of wisdom and perseverance. Perceptive and carefully reported, drawing heavily from candid interviews with the Kennedy family and inner circle, Last Lion captures magnificently the life and historic achievements of Ted Kennedy, as well as the personal redemption that he has found in later life.

Greater DC Cares Servathon
For the sixth year in a row Boston University alumni will join thousands of volunteers across the region to take part in the Greater DC Cares Servathon and help make our community a better place to live. Our project will be at a nonprofit or school in the metro area, most likely in DC. The workday is short, only 9am to 12:30pm, and it’s followed by a big party with free burgers, hotdogs and beer.
Like a Walkathon, Servathon volunteers raise pledges to support their day of service. You do not need to meet any fundraising goals however, if you wish to do so the Servathon website provides information and tools to help you in this effort.
A $25 registration fee covers project supplies, t-shirt, snacks and water. The Servathon generates one third of DC Cares annual budget and allows the organization to support community volunteerism year-round.
Registration is easy, just go to our team’s website: http://servathon2009.kintera.org/DCBostonU
Our goal this year is to recruit 30 volunteers and raise $1000. We hope you’ll join us!
Questions? Please contact Erik at erikenger@onebox.com or Mary Aquino Mary.Aquino@gmail.com
Greater DC Cares helps connect volunteers to non-profits all year long, if you’re interested check out www.dc-cares.org. They offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to choose from and you go as often or as little as you like.

Boston University Maryland License Plates! - this project was shelved due to lack of interest
Show your BU Pride as you drive around the state of Maryland! The DC Alumni Chapter has been trying to establish a Boston University specialty license plate through the Maryland Motor Vehicles Administration for quite some time.
In order to do so, the Alumni Chapter must demonstrate a minimum of 25 participants via a signed petition. The new BU plate will feature the BU seal on the left with "BU" displayed vertically and a four digit plate number.
The cost for these specialty plates will be $25. For those Maryland residents interested, please contact David Susseles (CGS '95, SMG '97) at dsusseles@yahoo.com with your name and plate number. Please include BU MD license plate in the subject line.
Time to receive your new tags is 8 - 10 weeks once the initial order is placed.
