Are you a member of the FDNY or NYPD? Have you served in the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard or Air Force? This year’s Spirit of Xaverian Dinner, November 10, 2011, will pay tribute to those who have lived a life of service, and remember those who died almost 10 years ago on 9/11. On the eve of Veteran’s Day, we will gather as a community to celebrate the great accomplishments of many and our shared bond as members of the Xaverian community. There will be a special tribute journal and video prepared and we would like to include you! If you could please email your name, branch of service and rank, and, if available, provide a picture in uniform, we would be most appreciative and be sure to keep you informed about this project. Please email bsmith@xaverian.org or mail materials to: The Advancement Office Xaverian High School 7100 Shore Road Brooklyn, NY 11209
