RPCV/W holds various events throughout the year that transcend our typical social, professional, or community service activities. Three annual events stand out in particular:
RPCV/W also plays a major role in commemorating key anniversaries of the Peace Corps. In September of 2011, RPCV/W planned, funded, and implemented a two-hour ceremony at the Arlington National Cemetery Memorial Amphitheater, which was attended by over 5,000 and followed by a march of flags across the Memorial Bridge and into the National Mall.
RPCV/W is making a bid to march in the Presidential Inauguration Parade, scheduled for January 21, 2013. Contact Corey Taylor at
inauguration@rpcvw.org if you would like to get involved and participate.
Overseeing all of this is our Special Events Director, Manuela McDonough. Contact her at
specialevents@rpcvw.org if you would like to help with planning or volunteer your services at a particular event.
