On Wednesday, October 14th, from 5:00pm until 8:30pm, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta will be hosting "Evening with the Fed, a Presentation for Middle and High School Educators."
What is this program all about you ask? Well, this is what the Fed brochure I am looking at says:
This free program, hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s head office and branches, provides a forum for school administrators and educators to explore current economic and financial topics that help them translate theory into real-world lessons for their students.
The evening’s presentation and discussion will feature Michael Chriszt, an assistant vice president at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
Chriszt’s presentation will cover
• general economic concepts about labor markets and their connection to economic activity
• how the current recession has affected American workers
• the Federal Reserve’s actions to support the economy
• general economic concepts about labor markets and their connection to economic activity

I have gone to an "Evening With the Fed' before and I can tell you it was 100% top notch. You get to hear a great Fed speaker, you walk away with materials, new lesson ideas and on top of all that they feed you an outstanding meal. Sounds like a great night to me.
