Event Description
Navy Week is coming to Spokane from May 10th to the 16th!
To give you a little background on Navy Weeks, they are set up by the US Navy with the intent to reach out to cities all over the nation and give residents a chance to learn about the Navy. To allow people a good look into the diverse roles available in the Navy, these weeklong celebrations can include:
- Performances by the Navy Leap Frog Parachute Team and the Blue Angels
- Dive demonstrations and dive tanks
- SEAL fitness challenges
- Navy rock and ceremonial bands
- Flight and other interactive simulators
- Appearances by Admirals, divers and sailors
- Community service projects
- Events with local sporting teams
- Much more!
Vice Adm. Bruce W. Clingan, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Operations, Plans and Strategy, and Rear Adm. James A. Symonds, Commander of Navy Region Northwest,
will serve as our leading spokespeople. Also participating are Sailors with significant ties to the local area.
N4M is not sponsoring this event, but if you're interested in coordinating something special with fellow N4M members, here are 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 folks, here's the scoop so far: I have been chatting with a wonderful young female Navy Lt., she's an officer Recruiter based here in Spokane. She has been tasked with putting on activities for DEP families and honoring our Vets. :) She reports to the Navy Recruiting District commander for WA, Northern Idaho, Oregon and Alaska. He was the one who extended the invite to members of N4Ms to join them during the Navy week in Spokane and hopefully lend our helping hands and experiance to their efforts.
I am wondering if any of you are possibly available and interested between now and Navy Week, especially for any or all of Friday May 14th and Saturday May 15th? There are plans for a desert meet and great on Friday night at 6pm with CDR Murdock (the head of that NRD I just mentioned) and a few other distinguished guests. They want to create a friendly, welcoming, open forum for questions and answers for the families of Future Sailors in the area. :-) On Saturday morning, the local VFW has teamed up with us to host a big old fashioned pancake breakfast. We have confirmed a 3 star Admiral as our guest speaker and honored guest!
Since time is of the essence here and I know that Bloomsday and Mothers Day precedes Navy Week, I am thinking that a planning meeting needs to happen between now and the weekend of April 30th/May 01. Unfortunately, I am currently consumed by a big event this weekend (my sailor is getting married!) and since I've been 'distracted" I haven't been able to prepare well for a presentation I need to give on April 27th, so I do need to focus on that this coming week. After those two events, I can free myself to meet up anytime. Would a thurs (4/29) fri (4/30) or saturday (5/01) work for some or all of you who are interested in coming down/over and lending a hand?? What time would be best? Our LT. is willing to make herself available to join us too. :)
I REALLY need some help here and it's an awesome opportunity for some Navy teamwork between N4Ms, Navy moms/loved ones and the Recruiting/Navy side. Please let me know your thoughts and ideas! I know I'll need some help at least with the baking of some goodies before the big weekend, perhaps some of you have church or girls scout groups who would like to do that for us??

Hi Colleen, Elizabeth and Navy Loved Ones, I am already in contact with the person in charge here in Spokane. They have extended an invitation to any and all N4Ms members in the greater Spokane area, and even around Eastern WA and our close enough neighbors in Northern Idaho and Western WA, to come enjoy the fun. :D However, I will need HELP, some fun special events are being planned for our Navy Moms, as well as to reach out to our new (DEPper etc) families, so please let me know if you are available for some planning between now and then-or just then-and would like to help out in any way!! Can't wait to meet some of you and have a great Navy Week here in Spokane!! :-)
