Event Ideas:
Memorial Day
May 26th
- Honor the sacrifices of the military with a memorial ceremony, including a flag-raising and a moment of silence. Screen films that pay tribute to veterans and offer resources for supporting military personnel.
- Coordinate a service project in collaboration with local veteran organizations or charities. Make your movie screening the drop-off location for donations or for collecting information on participation.
- Set up an exhibition at your movie screening that showcases military artifacts, photographs, and displays highlighting the history of various conflicts and the role of the military. Collaborate with a local university’s history department, local libraries, or local museums to gather resources and create an educational and interactive experience for your community.
- Host a special meal for veterans and active-duty military personnel at your event. Invite them to enjoy a complimentary breakfast, lunch or dinner before or after the movie as a token of appreciation for their service. This would provide an opportunity for attendees to personally express their gratitude and engage in meaningful conversations.
