NYC 400th Anniversary

Help the Guides Association of New York City celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Dutch Settlement of New Amsterdam and the importance of New York City to the United States and the world. We will be offering a variety of tours about NYC, and we offer you a chance to send a greeting to NYC in celebration.

We would love people from around the world to send a short greeting to New York City, wishing it a Happy 400th Anniversary. We will post these on the GANYC Social Media entities: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube (maybe more).

1. Keep it short. We would love for the greetings to be between 15 seconds and 1 minute
2. Include your name and where you are from 
3. Send it to us at NYC400@ganyc.org
4. Include your username on Instagram, etc. so we can tag you! 
5. Include hashtags -- where are you from, interests (#sports, #pizza, etc)
6. Once it is live, feel free to share and invite others
