The Group Photo at the Lincoln Memorial is ON!!!
However, we will NOT be taking the photo on the steps. Instead, our request for use of the Reflecting Pool as a backdrop was approved today! As mentioned earlier, please do NOT begin gathering at the steps. Gail and others will be near the reflecting pool to provide instructions on how to assemble. We will not have a lot of time to take the photo, so please bring plenty of patience, listen carefully, and move smartly. And please remember, no singing, chanting, shouting, etc.
Also, the National Park Service has reminded us that there will be NO PARKING ON THE GRASS ANYWHERE, NO PARKING on 23rd St NW, and NO PARKING on Henry Bacon Dr. NW. Violators will likely be ticketed. (Metro, Taxi, Uber, or other ride service/public transportation is highly recommended.)
Please plan to arrive and assemble at the reflecting pool at 1100 hrs. The RFTW group photo will be taken at 1130 hours.
On the Ontario Side of Things
The two ladies who sew for us and donate a percentage of their proceeds back to RFTW will NOT be at the Elks Lodge on Friday and Saturday. Instead, they will be located at the Holiday Inn (Host Hotel) in the back lot – in the same place as last year.
Question: Why is the photo on the steps not going to happen?
