Former New York Stock Exchange PR chief Bob Zito is inviting members of the PR and advertising community to attend a Manhattan lunch to get know the New York’s fire department.
He wants communicators to find out about various FDNY programs. In his pitch letter, Zito writes, “It may be that you will see opportunities for your clients, or maybe even for some of you on the 'client' side.”
He assures potential attendees that “we will not pass along a hat at lunch.” An added bonus: the lunch will be prepared by members of New York's Bravest. .
Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano will co-host the lunches with Zito, a board member of the FDNY Foundation who launched the NYSE Fallen Heroes Fund in 1998.
Lunch dates are Sept. 27 at Engine 8/Ladder 2 at 51st between 3rd and Lexington Avenues, and Oct. 11 at Engine 1/Ladder 24 at 31st between 6th and 7th Avenues. They will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
