Hanging Art at the New VAMC

July 10, 2018

02:00 PM - 05:00 PM MDT

Denver Platoon

Event overview

VFW Post-1's Veterans Art Council has been chosen to curate all the art at the new VA Hospital. This will happen July 10th, 2018 starting at 2:00 P.M. 10 (or more) volunteers are needed to help with greeting and helping the artists getting all the art hung in the Atrium. The Atrium is a quarter mile long. All Volunteers will need to respond before noon the 10th of July. Alan Norton of Post-1 has to turn in a list of names and cell phone numbers of the volunteers who will be helping the artists. Hospital Security needs to know in advance who the volunteers are. Volunteers will assist the artists with finding their space and hanging their art. All of the art will be preapproved and the artist's space already assigned. Volunteers will be wearing the ID tags provided. Tags are not enough for Hospital Security. Again, volunteers must register with me in advance. The attachment is for the parking map.

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
