Event overview

Join TMC DC Platoon assist the Military Women’s Memorial pack up as they prepare for a facelift over the winter. *If we can get the furniture moved from the Memorial to the Foundation earlier than 5 PM, then we likely would break early. However, we cannot bring the truck to the Memorial until 3 PM due to ANC regulations. Location Military Women’s Memorial Memorial Ave. and Schley Dr. Gateway to Arlington National Cemetery Transportation · Parking - Arlington National Cemetery Garage (parking and access info attached) Parking in the ANC garage is free at the moment as there is not a contractor in place. The Memorial might be able to accommodate some parking on the street that day (4-6 cars?). If approved by ANC, we would need to submit the name of the driver, make, model, and color of each car by 11/11. · Metro – Arlington National Cemetery Metro Stop (details attached) Food/Beverage Snacks, lunch, and drinks (water, tea, sodas) provided by MWM. There is no need for them to bring anything unless perhaps they have very specific dietary needs. Assistance Requested · Removal of brass/metal donor plaques from 196 theater chairs (to be saved for historical purposes and to display by another means) · Dismantle and move office furniture and other items (flags & boxes) from Memorial to Foundation – the actual move between locations must happen no earlier than 3 PM due to Arlington National Cemetery guidelines regarding having a moving truck visible at certain times. · Assistance with packing up and moving some of our larger items (wooden ship, bell, exhibit foundation pieces/walls) to niches inside the Memorial. · Protect and relocate display cases to safe places (gift shop and niches) · Relocate shelving units to Memorial niches
