Preparing for the parade

On occasion I need to remind myself that I go to a lot of meetings.  Or more to the point, that there are lots of folks who don't go to meetings on a regular basis - sometimes it's hard to remember what the norm might be.  It's a little like my being short - I know this as a fact, but forget to remember this fact. 
The good folks here humored me as I took pictures of them working on a timeline for the 14th Annual Latino Heritage parade & jamaica.  And as our meeting was in progress.

 I think most folks have been to meetings where there is a lot of talk and not too much outcome. Not so for those of us who work on the parade & jamaica.  There are hours put in and the results are a day of arts, cultures, heritage and history.  Community designed and community driven.  
Please join us at our next meeting at Madison Elementary library on Tuesday, May 15th.  We'll meet from 5:30 to 6:30.  The link below will take you to the Latino Heritage blog  - it has the most up to date information re: parade & jamaica planning.  And a handy dandy map to let you know where we'll be.

    1. Thanks. It feels good this year. I love that we have our first Chairperson for the event. More about her, and her work, soon.
