“The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders Calendar Release Party is one of the most highly anticipated cheerleading performances of the year,” said Washington Redskins Cheerleading Director Stephanie Jojokian.

Rebecca Sive, public affairs consultant and author, will be promoting her timely new book *Every Day is Election Day: A Woman’s Guide to Winning Any Office, from the PTA to the White House* (Chicago Review Press, August 2013) at Politics & Prose on August 27, 2013 at 7pm.
Sive’s experiences and numerous interviews with women leaders from Mississippi to Manhattan inform her inspirational, no-apologies playbook for women who aspire to public leadership and having a voice in the public square. Among other issues, energetic and straightforward Sive covers:
- · The truth about winning elections and developing influence as a woman, taken from her experience as public affairs strategist for Hillary Clinton, Betty Friedan, Geraldine Ferraro and US Senators Mary Landrieu and Barbara Mikulski among others.
- · Why women shy away from running for office. From concerns about family to professional qualifications to worries about their ability to raise funds needed to run a campaign, women considering leadership roles are more inhibited than men.
- · How we can break down barriers and ensure women an equal opportunity to lead both locally and at the national level. Sive offers fresh advice on how women can surmount public barriers, conquer private fears and run a winning campaign with confidence and no apologies—and why it’s important.

Three-time U.S. National Figure Skating Champion and two-time Olympian Michael Weiss announced that the 9th Annual Michael Weiss Foundation “Ice Champions LIVE!” will take place on Sunday, September 15 at The Gardens Ice House in Laurel, MD, beginning at 4:00 pm – bringing some of the brightest stars of figure skating to the Washington Baltimore area for a great cause. Tickets are now on sale at www.MichaelWeiss.org for this spectacular fundraiser, sponsored by Smucker’s and Pandora.

Weiss, who lived in Olney, MD until high school, created this event nine years ago, each year bringing the most famous faces in figure skating to the Washington region in order to raise money for his foundation, and to further the dreams of even more local athletes with Olympic dreams.
Ice Champions LIVE! is like no other figure skating event, in large part due to the intimate setting of the venue. Weiss twists like a tornado in the air landing in front of the on-ice seats. Nowhere else can attendees experience the feel, the movement, and the actual speed of these skaters as at this exhibition. Each skater brings something different to the ice, providing an evening of chills and thrills, in a fun-filled program that has not been done except at this show.
The Michael Weiss Foundation (MWF) is a non-profit organization offering scholarships to aspiring Olympiads and currently is sponsoring 27 recipients. Knowing first hand how much it takes to get an athlete to the Olympics, Michael gives young skaters this opportunity through his scholarships so they can carry the torch for Olympics of the future. He established the Michael Weiss Foundation as a way of giving back to the sport that his given him so much.
In addition to the ice show, there will be a silent auction that features the skaters’ personal memorabilia. This silent auction also has hundreds of items both from the World Figure Skating Community as well as local artists, jewelers’, restaurants and much, much more.
The event will be held on Sunday, September 15 at 4:00 pm, at The Gardens Ice House in Laurel, MD. Tickets are available at www.MichaelWeiss.org. LIMITED ON-ICE SEATING is available. Ticket prices range from $20-$50 with VIP opportunities – meet and socialize with some of the biggest stars in skating with the VIP package.
