Seamon Corporation Celebrates
Giving to Vets!

 

Seamon Corporation hosts 5th Annual

Celebration of Giving and donates $12,500

to New Directions to assist programs for veterans

Special Thanks to the Seamon Corporation!

 

On January 22, 2011 Seamon Corporation designated

New Directions, Inc. as the sole beneficiary for their

5th Annual Celebration of Giving. The event proceeds

raised $12,500 which was donated to New Directions

to support our efforts in serving veterans.

 

The evening program included dinner, dancing and raffles

of big-ticket prizes, including iPads, Apple MacBook Pro

computers, Xbox 360 game consoles and roundtrip airline

tickets anywhere in the US, generously donated by businesses

within the community.  The 200 guests in attendance even

got a taste, via multimedia presentation, of the award

winning New Directions Choir and a profile of Choir Director

George Hill.

 

The highlight of the evening came in the form of a very intimate

and moving speech from Bill Shean, a current Board member of

New Directions and alumnus of the program.  Bill is an

honorably discharged U.S. Navy veteran who served in

the Vietnam War. 

 

NDI thanks Seamon Corporation for recognizing our veterans

and honoring them in this way.

 

Headquartered in Greenbelt, Maryland, Seamon Corporation

provides event, IT, program and communcation

management services to government and corporate

agencies in the United States and beyond.
