You can be a very important part of this year's Veterans Day celebration -- please join us in person and with a note for the "Appreciation Book."
The 6th annual Veterans Day celebration will be held on Tuesday, November 11, at noon in Ford Hall, Whalen Center.
The guest speaker will be David West, director of the Bath (New York) Medical Center. Opening remarks will be given by President Tom Rochon. Music will be provided by the IC VoICes and the IC Brass Choir and the colors will be presented by IC-CU ROTC.
We invite you to be part of this year's celebration by helping us in a very special way. We want to present Mr. West with an "Appreciation Book" filled with notes, tributes, cards, or letters to take back to the current patients at VA hospital. It doesn't have to be anything special -- a simple "Thank you for your service" will be most appreciated.
You may e-mail a note to veteranscommittee@ithaca.edu or send a hard-copy note or card to: Pat Phelps, Music Office, Whalen Center. All notes must be received by November 3.
The IC Quilters have made a beautiful quilt for one of the veterans. It can be viewed a the IC Veterans website:
