Dear Friends,

I want to send my heartfelt congratulations to The Actors Fund on receiving The Salvation Army’s Pinnacle of Achievement Award. How wonderful that this great organization, which has gallantly performed “backstage” for so many decades, will be in the spotlight. As an actor, I can’t think of any recipient more deserving, or more appropriate, considering the sim- ilarities in the missions of these two beloved organizations. For people in need, crisis or transition, The Actors Fund and The Salvation Army have been there, treating all who turn to them with dignity and respect. I wish I could be there to share in the festivities of your Gala and to give my standing ovation to The Fund as it is honored, but please know I am with you in spirit.

With warmest regards,

Vanessa Williams

Dear Friends,

Congratulations to The Actors Fund on receiving The Salvation Army’s Pinnacle of Achievement Award. It’s heartwarming to see these two great organizations stand side-by-side and take a bow for the incredible difference they have made in the lives of thousands.

To The Salvation Army & The Actors Fund,

Both of these organizations have been dear to me over the years. I served on the Board of Directors of The Actors Fund and remain a Life Member. I only left the board because I felt I couldn’t give enough quality time to their wonderful work. As for The Salva- tion Army, my interest and admiration began with the experience of my brother in 1967. During the terrible race riots in Detroit, my brother was in the National Guard and saw the action firsthand. There were a few trucks handing out coffee and doughnuts, but only for a price. The soldiers had been without food for almost twenty-four hours. These “mercy” groups were lucky to get out with their trucks intact… the soldiers were angry. Only The Salvation Army was there giving comfort, hot coffee, and food, free of charge. And they gave to all, whether they were soldiers trying to keep the peace, police, firemen, or any civilians begging for help to save their homes. If people were in trouble,The Army was there for them. My brother is not a particularly religious man, but on that terrible night, he saw what real Christian good- ness could accomplish. It changed him for the better. And it cer- tainly reinforced my commitment to my fellow men and women. I feel privileged to be counted among the friends of The Salvation Army and urge others to join in their wonderful work.

Sincerely,

Edward Herrmann

rass banding in The Salvation Army is as synonymous with The Salvation Army as the red kettle at Christmastime. Since The Sal- Bvation Army’s inception in the late 19th century, brass bands have supported The Army’s mission throughout the world, from the smallest of Salvation Army centers to the largest concert halls. Founded in 1960, the Greater New York Youth Band has travelled far and wide, supporting Salvation Army work and spreading the message of Jesus Christ through music. In addition to tours throughout the United States, the group has travelled to Canada, Argentina, England, Holland, Italy, Jamaica, Scotland, Spain, and, most recently, Costa Rica. Bandmaster Gordon Ward has conducted the group since 1981, succeeding famed conductors Terry Camsey and Derek Smith. He is now joined by Christopher Ward in the leadership of this group.

Greater New York Youth Band Famous alumni include Philip Smith, Principal Trumpet of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, and Stephen Bulla, recently retired Chief Arranger of the White House Orchestra and U.S. Marine Band. From the Plainchants of the early Catholic Church to J.S. Bach’s Mass in B minor, the human voice has always played an important role in Christian Ministry. The Greater New York Youth Chorus was formed in 2005 by Gavin Whitehouse, its present leader. As with the band, the chorus draws on its membership of young people, ages 13-30, from throughout the Greater New York area. The group has also travelled with the Youth Band throughout the U.S., as well as to Canada, Argenti- na, Spain, and Costa Rica. N

Our “Saturdays in the City with The Salvation Army” walking-tour series uncovers these stories, and more, while exploring some of New York City’s most compelling neighborhoods and landmarks. Debuting in 2011, the walking tours have grown steadily in popularity, attracting people of all ages and ethnicities, each united in a common interest in learning more about the historical and cultural attractions of the communities in which they live and which comprise this great, diverse city.

Previous tours in the series have included Harlem; Brooklyn Heights; the Chelsea Meat Packing District; the “Three Squares” (Union Square, Gramercy Park, and Madison Square Park); Times Square and the Theater District; Chinatown, Little Italy, and “Little Ireland”; and the mid- and south-end areas of Central Park.

Mark your calendars and be sure to join us on May 23, 2015, when “Saturdays in the City with The Salvation Army” returns to Central Park, this time to explore its north end. A $60 per person donation is requested (special discounts available for students and children). Tours begin at 10 a.m. and include a luncheon at one of the area’s finest restaurants.

Early registration is recommended! For more information, or to reserve your place on the spring tour, contact Sharon Smith Ibello at (212) 337-7345 or at [email protected].

All proceeds from the tours benefit Salvation Army programs for individuals and families in need in the Greater New York area.
