Save Our Neighborhoods, the City of Fall River, B.O.L.D., and Arts United has teamed together to sponsor a magical event in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which Congress has designated as a national day of service and reflection.
The organizations and the city are inviting children and folks of all ages to attend the 1000 Valentines for the Troops event, to be held at the CD Rec/Bank Street Armory, at 72 Bank Street in Fall River, MA, from 9 am until noon, on Monday, January 19, 2009.
All interested parties will be provided with materials (paper, markers, paint, hearts, etc.) to assist them in creating the groups’ goal of 1000 hand-made Valentines for the men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Additionally, four large 3’X10” blank banners will be available for decoration and well wishes.
The Valentines and banners will be shipped overseas to the troops serving in America’s two war zones, arriving in time for Valentines Day.
1000 Valentines for the Troops still needs volunteers to put up posters in local business and to assist at the event. Anyone who is interested in creating Valentines or messages of support for our troops is invited to attend.
