body
PURPOSE:
AVAC will be adding the names of Rory P. Reyna and Daniel Reyna to the Veterans monument as well as a special brick dedication.
BACKGROUND:
Every year (or as needed) AVAC adds names to the monument at the Sunken Gardens honoring those who have fallen while serving.
DISCUSSION:
Names are added to the monument as a solemn ceremony done with honor and dignity.
The event will be open to the public and is part of the 3rd annual Vets Week in Aurora.
There will be a small reception in the Stover Center afterward and the committee is working closely with Park staff on logistics.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
AVAC is requesting a portion of Moses Drive be diverted during the ceremony. Parks staff will assist in determining whether to close the street or divert traffic through the parking lot.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed event be forwarded to the Government Operations Committee for review and approval.
