One organization\, the Four Minute Men\, urged volunteer orators to make appeals for various causes\, such as the Red Cross. They were organized three months after the U.S. entered WWI in 1917 and their name comes from the four minutes it took to change the film reels in movie houses\, the primary platform for the speakers. Locations quickly grew to anywhere a crowd might be gathered: church socials\, school auditoriums\, city parks\, boardwalks\, and railroad stations. Its members were vital in disseminating the government’s war messages and information; by the time the organization was dissolved\, over 75\,000 citizens had participated in the program. \nThe YMCA in WWI Jay Callahan\n \nBOOKS \nThe event is free and open to the public. \nSchedule of Events\n9:00am Women on the Home Front Stephanie Vickers \n\n10:00am The Hello Girls in WWI Catherine Bourgin and Carolyn Timbie\, descendants of WWI Telephone Operators \n\n11:00 Wreath Ceremony at the Pershing statue \n\n11:15 General John J.
