MEDIA ADVISORY
FLEET WEEK IS MORE THAN SHORE LEAVE…
Navy Personnel to do Community Service at
Covenant House New York
-- and Staten Island, too…
WHO:
More than 6,000 Sailors, Marines and Coast Guard personnel aboard 22
ships – including six warships – will sail into New York harbor for
Fleet Week May 22 – May 28, 2002
While the fleet is in, there will be plenty of interaction between
Sailors and New Yorkers at the 200 events in 8 days at 100 plus
venues in all five
Boroughs. But,
that’s not all…
WHAT:
In keeping with the spirit of giving, many of the Navy personnel
will volunteer to participate in dozens of community improvement
projects in neighborhoods all over the City. Giving up some of
their shore leave, volunteers will lend a helping hand where it’s
most needed.
