Thornton Veterans Memorial News - April 28, 2008

 

With spring here and summer approaching quickly, there is a lot happening
with the Thornton Veterans Memorial.  

 

cid:image003.gif at 01C78251.EA630BF0  Tax rebates present a great opportunity
to support the memorial!  This week the federal government started sending
out the rebates as part of the economic stimulus plan that was recently
passed by Congress.  This free money from the government is a great chance
for those in the community to help support a worthy cause - the Thornton
Veterans Memorial.  As you know, our project is entirely privately funded -
we receive no public money - and we are dependent on the generosity of our
supporters.  Please consider using part of your rebate to support the
Thornton Veterans Memorial - it can't be done without you!  Donations can be
made online by clicking the orange "donate" button at
www.thorntonveteransmemorial.org or you can mail them to Thornton Veterans
Memorial Foundation, PO Box 29592, Thornton, CO 80229.  Thank you as always
for your support!

TVMF will be at the city festival to talk to the community and discuss the
latest progress on the project and upcoming events.  Thorntonfest is
Saturday, May 17th from 10 a.m. - 5p.m. at the Thornton Multipurpose Fields.
Be sure to stop by our tent!  

 

cid:image003.gif at 01C78251.EA630BF0  Planning continues for Vietnam Traveling
Memorial Wall event.  Our members are working day and night to ensure this
extraordinary event is a tremendous success.  The Foundation, working in
conjunction with the city of Thornton, has arranged to have this
extraordinary memorial present from July 3 to July 7, 2008 - most fittingly
during the city's Independence Day celebration. The Wall will be available
for public viewing 24 hours a day on those dates at the multipurpose fields
at the Margaret W. Carpenter Recreation Center (11151 Colorado Boulevard,
Thornton, CO 80233).  This will be a huge event for the city and all area
citizens.  To learn more about the event, please click here:

cid:image003.gif at 01C78251.EA630BF0  Area organizations and businesses
support Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall event.  A number of area businesses
and civic organizations have recently become sponsors of the Vietnam
Traveling Memorial Wall event and we thank them for their support.  Hunter
Douglas, Sun Enterprises, Dodge Sign Company, Radisson Graystone Castle,
MetroNorth Newspapers, United Power, Northglenn American Legion Post 22,
Colorado Veterans of Foreign Wars and more have stepped forward to support
this extraordinary event and we thank them all!  If your company or
organization would be interested in sponsoring the event and supporting our
veterans, please see here:

cid:image003.gif at 01C78251.EA630BF0  Volunteers for Vietnam Traveling
Memorial Wall Event Needed.  With the announcement of the traveling wall
coming to Thornton, we are seeking volunteers to help us with the event as
it will draw thousands of visitors.  You can help with any number of tasks
including setting up and taking down the wall, daytime staffing to work the
computer and assist visitors (guest services), overnight guest services and
security, and people to take 20 minute shifts to read the names on the wall
in remembrance on Sunday, July 5.  If you would be interested in
volunteering, please email us at info at thorntonveteransmemorial.org.  We
would appreciate your help!  

 

cid:image003.gif at 01C78251.EA630BF0  Next Meeting, Monday, May 5 @ 7:00pm at
the Thornton Civic Center.  Our meetings are held on the first Monday of the
month.  This project is a community project and we wholeheartedly encourage
anyone who is interested to attend to learn more and if so inclined, to join
us in helping to make the project a reality.  

 

As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please don't
hesitate to contact us!  Thank you for your continued support!
