Fort Wadsworth Haunted House - Thursday, October 31, 5:30–9:00 P.M.

Want to enjoy some spooky vibes but don’t have any trick-or-treat-aged family members to take out in your neighborhood? Join the New York Council in the gym at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island to help staff the Coast Guard’s haunted house on Halloween night so that Sector New York families who are staffing the haunted house on other nights can spend the night with their little ones. We'll be helping at the door and with food and beverage sales, so no need to come in costume — unless the spirit moves you.

Sailors at Barcade - Sunday, November 10, 5:00–7:00 P.M.

The New York Council and Metro NY USO are joining forces again to host some fun for visiting Sailors during Veterans Week. We will be hosting crew members from a visiting USN ship at Barcade in Chelsea for food, drinks and arcade games. We're seeking two volunteers to help greet Sailors and distribute game tokens.

Christmas at Sea - Monday, December 9, 9:00 A.M.–2:00 P.M.

New York Council members and friends will be keeping mariners in our hearts this holiday season. Join us for a volunteer day at Seaman’s Church Institute in Port Newark to make or personalize Christmas cards and assemble gift bags that will be shared with mariners away from their families. We may also have the opportunity to help deliver the gifts on visiting ships or take a port tour once the bags are packed.
