April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Constellation Energy (NYSE:CEG)
announced that it will celebrate Take Our Daughters And Sons To
Work(R) today. During this annual event, children of Constellation
Energy employees participate in an entire day of interactive
activities and presentations that connect what they learn in school
with the careers of their parents. This year's event will be
highlighted by "Operation Constellation Energy Kids," an initiative
during which participating children will learn first-hand about
Constellation Energy's commitment to the communities it serves.
Specifically, the children will be assembling 1,300 individual care
packages, within a two hour time span, for soldiers of the Maryland
Army National Guard's 58th Brigade Combat Team, who will begin
deploying to Iraq today. "This has always been a very special and
worthwhile event for Constellation Energy, one that enables our
children to understand the opportunities available to them as they
begin to think about their futures and the importance of balanced
work and family life," said Mayo A. Shattuck III, chairman,
president and chief executive officer of Constellation Energy.
"We're proud of our commitment to the communities in which we live
and work, and even more proud that this year's event will be made
more special by the launch of Operation Constellation Energy Kids.
It's a privilege for us to be able to play a small role in helping
to connect our children with our hometown military heroes in a very
real and meaningful way." As part of "Operation Constellation
Energy Kids," Constellation Energy employees have been making cash
contributions and collecting items for the care packages. The bags,
which will be boxed up and forwarded to the unit for distribution
once all soldiers have arrived in Iraq, will include items
specifically requested by the deploying Maryland Army National
Guardsmen including stationery, envelopes, sunscreen, batteries,
CDs, DVDs and cans of Old Bay seasoning donated by McCormick &
Company. Members of the 58th Brigade Combat Team, based in
Pikesville, Dundalk and Annapolis, Md., will participate in the
event, as will Maj. Gen. Bruce F. Tuxill, the Adjutant General of
the Maryland National Guard. Constellation Energy is a proud
supporter of the Guard and Reserve. In particular, more than 20
employees recently returned from active duty and 11 employees are
currently on military leave. Other activities that the children
will participate in include a field trip to Constellation Energy's
Pumphrey Training Center for demonstrations on safe energy
production and delivery, as well as contests and other fun
activities. Constellation Energy ( http://www.constellation.com/ ),
