Looking for one or more people to serve as public affairs officers, webmaster, photographers, and social media wranglers for the Austin Veterans Parade, held each November 11. The website is located at www.AustinVeteransParade.org and the committee is affiliated with the Austin Community Foundation.
While the parade is held on November 11, the website and any social media postings are a year-round affair. Meetings are held for one hour a month usually starting in the summer and an additional one or two in October or November.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop and show off your event photography skills, create web-based information, and support the Austin veterans community.

Mission Statement
The Austin Veterans Day Parade Foundation welcomes you to this year's parade, ceremonies, and other activities. This is an all-volunteer event operating for over 17 years. Veterans' Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it is usually observed on November 11. However, if it occurs on a Sunday then the following Monday is designated for holiday leave, and if it occurs Saturday then either Saturday or Friday may be so designated. The 2019 parade will be held on Monday, November 11. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)
Description
Are you ready to get involved? Each year, dozens of volunteers come together to honor the veterans in the greater Austin and Travis County area. Sign up today.
