Well, now that all of our retirement accounts are in the dumper, what better way to lift our spirits than a Parade! And we're in luck because as you know the SME 50th Anniversary Celebration, The Lancer Day Parade and the first and only All '70s TGIF Party is this Friday. And although the weather today looks a bit like the recent events on Wall Street, we have devised a can't miss bail out plan that includes only a minor adjustment of the original plans. The most important thing and the good news is that it is supposed to be a perfect day on Friday. Brian Busby just said it will be sunny and 68 degrees. The bad news is that it will be raining Tuesday evening so we are canceling Tuesday night's construction/build meeting and deferring our final Float work until Thursday. But not to worry, on Thursday we will start an hour earlier and get it all done then. So here is the schedule for Thursday & Friday:
Thursday, 10/16 @ 5:00pm - Final Float Construction & Champagne Christening @ 8825 Mission Road - BYOBFriday, 10/17 - If you are riding or walking in the Parade, meet at the Prairie Village Pool Parking lot off Delmar promptly at 1:20pm
- Parade begins at SM East and proceeds down Mission Road to The Village at 2:00pm
- All School Rally in front of Euston Hardware/Mr. Goodcents at 2:30
- All '70s TGIF Post Parade Party at The Blue Moose 3:00 - 6:00 with Shag Mahoney playing songs from the '70s on our Float in the parking lot
Come for any or all that you can and please register your vote to attend The Blue Moose Event in the sidebar to this posting.
We'll see you in the Village on Friday where as Dave Bonebrake, '72 noted that "this is the biggest thing to hit the Prairie Village Shopping Center since the Toon Shop had 45's on sale for 49 cents!!"
And more great news!! A.B. May is sponsoring the cost of our All '70s TGIF Post Parade Party Band!
Thanks to our Seventies classmates the Posladek's for their generosity!
And remember to "Call your serviceman from A.B. May!"
