changes!!

and start of Parade time of 6:30 PM
The Parade will NOT be

Scotia-Glenville
Elementary Mini-Marathon
Note from the Veterans Memorial Committee
There
has been a “problem” with some of the parade participants in the past. This
concerns the distribution of items to spectators. It has been brought to our
attention that some units are passing out materials (papers, candy, etc.) while
in the line of march of the parade. Any
items distributed during the Parade must be physically handed, not
thrown to, Parade participants. We of the committee do not want anyone
injured chasing anything distributed during the Parade. Thank you for your
cooperation in this matter. Any participant not cooperating with this
instruction will not be invited to participate in the Parade again.
We
have rearranged the formation of the Parade in order to let the
Participants
see the Parade prior to their being in it.
Groups in the Parade Orders that are not at their respective
assigned places
at the time of their ordered step off - the properly placed
units are to proceed without them.
The 109th Air Wing has extended an invitation to
the Parade and Services
participants to visit the NCO Club after the Parade for
refreshments.
Cash Bar. Please feel free to take advantage of this
opportunity.
