Dear Friend --
As the 18th anniversary of the tragic
terrorist attacks of 9/11 approaches, AAI will once again join groups
across the country in commemorating victims and first responders by
participating in the September 11th National Day of
Service and Remembrance.
This year, the national day of service
falls on Saturday, September 7th, and we are asking
you to join us to help clean up one of our national parks.
We will be volunteering with
the National Park Service, helping to preserve our Nation’s
most iconic and respected memorials through flower planting, mulching,
painting, or removing litter and invasive species. As we live and work
in and around D.C., this is an opportunity for the community to give
back to the institutions that preserve instrumental parts of our
shared neighborhood.
What: National Day of Service
and Remembrance with AAI
When: Saturday, September 7th
from 9:00am-12:00pm
Where: Address will be provided
upon RSVP.
RSVP: Please
register here by Thursday,
September 5th at 5:00pm.
The September 11th National Day of
Service and Remembrance spans across all 50 states. The inspiring
tradition of volunteerism on 9/11 is a powerful and forward-looking
tribute to the 9/11 victims, survivors, and those who rose up in
service in response to the attacks. Volunteers across the nation will
participate in opportunities to paint and refurbish homes, run food
drives, spruce up schools, de-litter outdoor spaces, and support and
honor veterans, soldiers, military families, and first
responders.
We would love to have you join us in
giving back to the DC metro area community.
For questions about the event, please
contact me via email at [email protected] or call at
202-429-9210.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Best, Heba
