LOOKING TO VOLUNTEER?
Tourism Cares for America is a volunteer program to help preserve, conserve and protect tourism related sites in America that need care and rejuvenation. The next work project is November 13-14 in Los Angeles, where volunteers will address restoration needs on the USS Iowa. The battleship served in World War II and earned the moniker "Battleship of Presidents" when President Franklin Roosevelt traveled on board for meetings with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin in 1943.
