bands in the Patriots Day parade.
The Linn Village Drum Band has accepted our invitation to march
in the parade. They are from Wakefield
We still need ideas on a parade theme.
Mrs Litchfield will invite the ROTC Bands She will also invite
the Dignitaries on our Invitation List, i.e. our Governor, Senators,
Representatives, and so forth.

to whether or not they would like the shuttle service job on April 19th,
