Dear PARA Member,
You can sign up now to volunteer for a day of service with one of the more than 30 nonprofit organizations in the five boroughs of New York City and in New Jersey which are participating in the Port Authority's annual Remembrance Through Renewal program. This program commemorates the lives lost in the attacks on September 11, 2001.
The listing for each service opportunity is an active link that will lead you to the description of it, and if you choose to volunteer for it, you can sign up right there, online. The password is rtr2022! Please remember to include the exclamation point when you type the password.
With some exceptions, some of the organizations typically close registration a week ahead of when their respective events start. Please keep this in mind as you peruse the list, and also be aware that these slots tend to fill up quickly. If you are interested, act now! Some of the events have brackets with PA and some other capital letters after them. Those are sponsored by one of the employee organizations within the Port Authority. This is just an FYI.
