Navy Week - Des Moines

Navy Week is coming to Des Moines, IO from April 20th - 26th!

For those of you that are not sure what Navy Weeks are, they consists of a series of events designed to tell the Navy story: what the Navy does, why it’s important, and what opportunities exist in today’s Navy.

Des Moines Navy Week 2009 will be packed with events demonstrating the mission of the Navy and our proud heritage. These events could include Navy Band Great Lakes "Horizon" performances, SEAL Accelerator, and Navy TACH Demos and Flyovers all intent to give the public a personal look at the men and women of the Navy serving throughout the world in different roles.

Rear Admiral Michael T. Franken, Deputy Director, Strategy, Plans and Policy United States Central Command will serve as our spokesperson. In addition to RADM Franken, there could be guest appearances from Lt. Andrew Baldwin, M.D., of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and formerly of the ABC TV series “The Bachelor,” and other outstanding local Sailors.

N4M is not sponsoring this event, but if you're interested in coordinating something special with fellow N4M members, here's some Do's and Don'ts to keep in mind :)

DO get involved with Navy Weeks.
- You are encouraged to participate in Navy Week activities when appropriate.
- If you want to get involved with the Navy coordinators, your group should appoint a "spokesperson" to coordinate with the Navy. (This will alleviate multiple calls on the same topic.). The Navy Week points of contact can be found on www.navyweek.org. Go to the schedule and click on the city that you are interest in. The point of contact for that city's Navy Week will be listed.

DO NOT independently contact the flag officers or VIP participants involved in your town's Navy Week, but do work through the appointed Navy Week points of contact listed on www.navyweek.org
