ANNUAL WREATH LAYING AT THE TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER 5/26
Sunday, May 26 – 10:15 a.m.
Arlington Cemetery, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
The ND Alumni Club of Washington, DC, is scheduled to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers on Sunday, May 26, at 12:15 p.m., in honor of Notre Dame alumni who have personified the words "God, Country, Notre Dame." Everyone is welcome to join us for the ceremony. Keep in mind that the Tomb is a 20-minute walk from the Visitor Center, Metro stop, and Parking, so please plan accordingly. Army protocol calls for four people to accompany our wreath. Please contact David Diaz '95 at cerritos117@msn.com if you would like to volunteer or to nominate a current or former member of our Armed Services or if you have any questions about the event. We will meet on the south side of the Amphitheater Building.
SPANISH MASS 4/7
Please join us on Sunday, April 7th to celebrate Spanish Mass. This will be a great opportunity to also reconnect with old friends, make new ones and practice your Spanish/Spanglish skills. The Mass will be held at 1 p.m. at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle (located within a short walking distance from the Farragut North (L Street exit) and Dupont Circle, Metro Stations. address below). After Mass we will enjoy coffee or a bite to eat and we hope to see you there too. We will meet by the stairs in front the third entrance door. Please look for folks wearing ND gear. For additional information, please contact Marcela Monsalve by email at mmonsalv@alumni.nd.edu.
