Get Well Kim!!
We got some shocking news yesterday that Kim Kolb, fellow SE and and the author of the Nest Liner section on the SE blog, suffered a stroke after hitting his head this past weekend. The latest news is that he’s been moved out of ICU. You can follow his progress and send well wishes at his blog at Reston Hospital. We wish Kim and his family all the best as he recovers.
Next D.C. United Game
Chivas USA-D.C. United
Saturday, May 17
Home Depot Center Carson, CA
Kick off 10:30 pm ET
Viewing Parties Because kick off is pretty late (OK, maybe not for you club-going hipsters!) we have two places in the Metro D.C. area that are committed to showing the game (show up early and catch the Rapids-Dynamo game at 8:30 so you can get a good seat and settle in for the night, the bars can’t hold seats for hours). Please support the bars that support us by showing up at these away game viewing parties. We STILL need people to help organize parties in Baltimore and Capitol Hill. If you’re interested, please send an email to James at membership@screaming-eagles.com
D.C. Momo’s 1334 U St, NW Washington, DC (202) 667-3222
VA Kitty O’Shea’s 2403 Wilson Blvd Arlington, VA (703) 522-5295
Tifo Creation Party, May 18
The fine folks who have been painting all those banners that have popped up in the SE Nest lately will be at it again this Sunday, May 18 starting at 1 pm. We need about 20-30 people to help as the goal is to make banners for the upcoming Toronto AND Houston games at this one party. We need ideas and people to paint and construct the banners (you don’t have to be Matisse or Norm Abrams!) Contact Tim at tifo@screaming-eagles.com for directions to his house.
ALSO: The Tifo Crew is looking for old bed sheets (flat and fitted) and pillow cases for future Tifo Projects. Bed sheets and pillow cases NEED TO BE WHITE and CLEAN (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE CLEAN), we can work around holes but stains, not so much.
Other items: Streamers (black, red and/or white), Confetti (homemade with newspaper preferably), Paint Brushes (the cheapo “chip” brushes are great). Items can be dropped off at an SE tailgate for Tim to pick up.
Upcoming Community Outreach Events
Housing for the Latino Community The SE Outreach team is donating prizes for a Community Forum on Housing to be held this Saturday, May 17th at the Festival Center, 1640 Columbia Rd, NW, Washington, DC beginning at 10 am.

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Fundraiser Hosted by Nadine Namoff
More Outreach events in June!
Send a Net, Save a Life!
Just days before the Screaming Eagles take to the streets for the annual Race for the Cure, we are co-hosting a Happy Hour at the Rocket Bar on June 5th with the Capital Co-ed Soccer League to raise money for Nothing But Nets. Rocket Bar is located across the street from the Verizon Center (downstairs). The intent is to bring together the adult soccer community in the Washington DC area to raise money for a wonderful organization that works to prevent malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa. Special guests that will be in attendance include members of the Washington Freedom.
Fundraiser for United for D.C. 
For all you folks who want to dust off your other kind of cleats and get into the rough, please consider joining one of the teams for D.C. United’s 7th Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament on June 23rd at Old Hickory in Woodbridge to benefit United for D.C. There are a couple of places left as we put together our teams - so please drop a note to Matt Mathai, our Grand Poobah of the Putting Green himself, at segolf@screaming-eagles.com
