Dear SWE Boston Members,


We would love to find a volunteer to present Merit Certificates atMethuen High School on Thursday, May 29th at 6:30pm! We were unable to locate a SWE representative for them last year, so it would be great if we could make it up to them this year!

Please email Darcie Giard (darcie@scadicon.com) if you can help! The details are as follows:
METHUEN HIGH SCHOOL (North of Boston)
One Ranger Road
Methuen, MA 01844
Date: Thursday May 29th
Time: 6:30pm

This one-time task typically takes only an hour or two (at absolutemost!) of your time. The actual presenting takes about 5 minutes(maximum) and generally presenters are present for the entire awardsceremony, plus your travel time to and from the school. We canprovide you with a detailed (but short!) script if you are unsure what to say.

The award recipients are typically students who have excelled in mathand/or science and receiving an award from SWE is almost always thefirst exposure to SWE, and perhaps to engineering, the students havehad. These students may very well be our next generation of SWE members! Having an actual SWE member present the award is greatly appreciated by the school's faculty.

Please email Darcie Giard (darcie@scadicon.com), if you are interested or have any questions.


Thank you,
SWE Boston
