This, from member Laura Valley regarding a special event and opportunity in Urbandale for the 2nd annual Patriotic Tribute coordinated by Laura's church (click here for a flyer about the event):

Hi Everyone,

I don't know if you have heard that we will be honoring our soldiers, veterans, fallen soldiers and their families again with a tribute on Sunday, June 29 at 6:00pm. This is our second year for the tribute in the park. Last year we involved 100 musicians from 13 different churches in the metro area. 500 people attended our concert and 9 families of fallen soldiers from The Global War on Terror attended. I would like to invite all of you to participate again this year. Our idea of a tribute will be the same, but our music and program will be different. I have attached a digital copy of our flyer. I also have hard copies of this flyer that I would love to hand out to whom ever wants one or more. Later on we will have posters that can be put up to invite the community to come and enjoy our tribute.

As you will see, we are shooting for doubling our numbers from last year. Please invite your families, friends and neighbors to participate in honoring our soldiers, veterans, fallen soldiers and their families. We will begin rehearsals on Wednesday, May 28. If you are planning on participating, please email me or call me so that I can plan accordingly.

If you have any questions, ideas or concerns please don't hesitate to call me at 251-4632.

I hope that you will consider helping us honor these very important people on June 29.

Sincerely, Julie DenHerder

 

This is a call for volunteers for the UCT pit orchestra, directed by Carl Johnson. This year's production will be George M.!
