Add Your Voice to help our Veterans community.
Attend the Historic Preservation Commission Meeting
on the Renovation plans for the Veterans Building
Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 11:30-4:30pm
San Francisco City Hall, Room 400
Help us create a place to grow and heal. Make sure redesign plans include space for the returning Veterans and a place to go for services and programs for Vets and their families.
Help Create A New Community the building can be the new heart of the Veterans Community—a place of healing and growth — a new community of voices, artist, writers, poets, filmmakers — to share the Veterans’ stories.
A newly renovated Veterans Building should continue to serve the San Francisco Veterans community. We need your support to ensure the use of this historic building for the wave of returning Veterans who are expected to settle in the Bay Area. Current plans by the War Memorial Board of Trustees will give away current office space from American Legion Posts and Veterans organizations and construct a museum/gallery for the San Francisco Arts Commission, a new ticket sales center for the theater and a public café.
If you can’t attend email or write the Commissioners with your support.
Some of the Commissioners are listening to us!!!
There is still time to change minds.
