Wake Forest will host The Wall That Heals, a three-quarter replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for four days in October, Oct. 18 through 21. The exhibit in Joyner Park will be free and open to the public around the clock for those days, and will require a large number of volunteers.
Volunteers are critical to the success of the event and needed at a variety of times. Volunteer duties will be general in nature and may include answering questions, helping visitors locate names on The Wall and providing parking direction and assistance. Volunteers must be able to stand and walk and be 18 or older. The exhibit will be open from 8 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 18 through Sunday, Oct. 21, at 2 p.m.
Anyone interested in volunteering may sign up online at www.wakeforestnc.gov/the-wall-that-heals.aspx. A volunteer training session will be held at Joyner Park on Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 6 p.m. All volunteers are urged to attend.
