DES PLAINES PARADE....ON JULY 4TH!!

If your troop is interested in marching in the Des Plaines Independence Day parade please e-mail me by Monday, 6/22.   I am purchasing the materials tomorrow.   If you want to participate, but don’t have a final number of girls yet, no problem.  I know how communication with the troop during the summer can be difficult to do.  I’m still gathering confirmations from my own troops. Just e-mail me with an estimated number of participants.  I’d rather have too many materials than not enough.   

I have heard from the following troops:  762, 1754, 1771, and 2078.   We have approximately 40 girls and 10 adults marching at this time.   I will be contacting those leaders by e-mail with final line-up time & location details when I receive them from the City of Des Plaines parade organizers.   (FYI, last year we were asked to line-up between 9:00 - 9:30 am for a parade start at 10:00.  It’s probably something similar this year.)

Thanks and enjoy the summer!
