State’s Night Out
Everything is bigger in Texas, they say, and that seems to be the case with our group. We have 55 members attending the 2019 NEAFCS Annual Session in Hershey, PA! Thus, with such a large group to accommodate, unfortunately, Texas will be unable to dine out altogether during States’ Night Out while at the NEAFCS Annual Session. However, as mini-groups, you can visit a local restaurant of your choosing.
List of restaurants provided by NEAFCS: Hershey Restaurants
After dinner during the States’ Night Out time, TEAFCS will all have a chance to get together with a casual Social Hour in the lobby beginning at 7:30 pm.

Storybooks for Hershey Medical Center Children’s Hospital
The hospital is within walking distance from the Hershey Lodge. It services all of central Pennsylvania for critical and chronic care pediatric medical needs. To learn more about the Child Life Center at Penn State Children’s Hospital, please watch this brief video. You can view the Service Project Book List, which includes recommended titles; however, they accept books that are not listed as well. The Children’s Hospital has patients ranging in age from infant to 18 years, so a wide range of reading levels is always appreciative. All books must be brand new for infection prevention. If you would like to donate monetarily instead of a book, both can be collected. Your generosity is highly appreciated! For monetary donations, please email djessup@executiveoffice.org.
