Veterans History Project 2004 Partner Meeting
The unprecedented growth in the number of Official Partners joining us
in recent months now puts the partner count at just under
1,000. Therefore, we feel the need to make a hasty retreat
from our planned partner meeting on June 24 and 25, 2004,
as we cannot accommodate such a large gathering. This decision
allows us time to develop strategies to better serve and work
with you, our valued partners.
Should you be visiting Washington, D.C. during the activities planned
around the dedication of the World War II Memorial on May
27-30, 2004, we hope that you will visit us in the Veterans
History Project pavilion on the National Mall. While our offices
in the Library of Congress Adams Building will be closed during
this period, we invite you to visit us at any other time when
you are in Washington. If you have collections that you have
not yet sent to us, please consider completing your work on
them and send them to us via FedEx or UPS.
The Veterans History Project is entering an exciting growth phase with
increasing national attention and a blooming base of volunteer
interviewers in communities throughout the country. Our continued
success relies on our strong connection with you, our Official
Partners, and our Volunteer Corps of Interviewers, and we
will continue to reinforce our mutual efforts in the months
ahead. |
