Today is March 10; in a hop, skip and jump, it will be March 15, and you know what that is, right? right?
Do people in your organization and community remember the literary/historical import of March 15? Ask folks at random. Reward correct answers with a piece of chocolate and an invitation to participate in a group declamation of Antony's famous funeral oration.
Arrange a time when a crowd (more than 1 person) can gather to declaim Antony's famous speech and then hold forth. Invite people to wear appropriate costume.
Use this as an opportunity to learn more about the Antony, Cleopatra, Augustus, Brutus, etc., the evolution of the Roman Empire, the ascendancy of the Caesars (but not necessarily Caesar salad!), etc.
