Event Description
Navy Week is coming to Spokane May 11th through 18th!
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.
Spokane Navy Week 2009 is packed with events demonstrating the mission of the Navy and our proud heritage. These events could include and Navy Band performances, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Dive Tank, SEAL Accelerator,Blue Angels F/A-18 Flight Simulator, Accelerate Your Life Experience (AYLE) Simulator and Navy Theme-Wrapped Suburban 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 Symonds, Commander Navy Region Northwest will serve as our spokesperson and there will also be Navy Band 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

OK, here's the scoop. (Again, sorry I'm so behind the 8 ball this time!) I've also posted it on the Navy Moms in Spokane discussion on the WA/ORE Group. Hope we can all join in the fun somewhere, sometime the rest of the week/end! My family and I will probably be at the Navy Band concert at Riverfront park. Colene and I will definitely be at the Parade later on Saturday night! Hope to see others there...

Welcome Theresa! I'm trying to put my finger on exactly where you are? Would you be available this Sunday to meet up with some Spokane Moms? We had a gathering tenetively planned that had to be postponed from earlier in the month. We'll see what the Navy has planned too and maybe we can meet up and all participate together. :-)

Hey Elle and everyone, I'm on it! Late to the party after being in Seattle for RMD week and trying to catch up on life since, but I'm all over it this week. =)
Just wanted to let you all know that I am awaiting a response from Lt. Comdr. Thoms who is the contact person for Navy Week in Spokane. Things are already underway here I'd assume, but there should be activities all week, possibly through next Monday. I'd expect the Navy Band, the AYLE simulator and of course there's the Armed Forces Day Parade downtown on Saturday.
Just found out my own Sailor will be marching in it, in his Dress Blues, good thing it's not too hot yet! Just hope it doesn't rain on their parade. :) I'll post info here as soon as I hear/know anything.

I'm surprised that such an event is available to attend especially so close to home, a mere 48 miles away. Please tell me more!
