Thanks to everyone who got us off to such a great start!
I’ve heard of their good work!
I’ll be posting soon abt our next event coming up in September…
Good Morning, Just a thought…………The “Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Memorial” annually awards college scholarships to children of injured workers in NY as well as the “Clara Lemlich Public Service Award” through their fund raising efforts. Perhaps a joint fundraiser could be explored, with proceeds to be donated to the scholarship fund in memory of those who perished in the fire (?). For more information and to contact the organization: trianglememorial.org
You are absolutely right!!
Pardon our mistake – we’ve fixed the post & greatly appreciate the support!
Hi The NIAF(National Italian American Foundation) also endorsed the coalition-Will forward email from James De Santis NIAF National Executive Director Thanks!
