Hi Everyone,
Just got news of a wonderful event that is coming to New York. Specifically in Long Island at the Northport Veterans Hospital. It is a replica of the Washington DC Dignity Vietnam Memorial Wall. This is sure to be interesting to see as it is a wonderful piece of art with much significance. With that mentioned, right now we are looking for a couple of good volunteers to help with the arrival and celebration of this art piece. There are different volunteer roles that you can choose from such as:
Publicity Ground Site / Construction
Safety Motorcycle Escort
Hospitality Food Service
Below I have included a volunteer application; if you have any questions you can call (631) 261-4400 ext 2991 or feel free to zap me an email or post a comment at the bottom of this blog. Below is also a description and a little more historical background of the wall. Hope you enjoy. Cheers,nency
