Posting this for Joe Daly:

Fellow NVCCers,

We have an opportunity once again to participate in the Washington, D.C. St. Patrick's Day Parade downtown (http://www.dcstpatsparade.com/). Additional details to follow as soon as I know them...stay tuned to this thread, club website event posting and/or your email for details.

The parade date is Sunday, March 11th, 2007 at noon.

If you are interested please email me at jdthree@cox.net ASAP. There is no limit on the number of cars that can attend, I just need a headcount for the application. Also, if anyone has any kids that want to carry the banner, ahead of the group, let me know.

-Joe "JD3" Daly

Hi Laurie.
I'm not sure if we're supposed to be meeting at noon in the Pentagon parking lot or earlier. Would you know?
Thanks,

I guess you didn't see the update...it was sent via club email by Joe Daly as well as posted on page 1 (bottom) of this thread and updated on the club calendar. Check it out, all the meeting time info is there. [;)]

Thanks to all who attended and to Joe for planning...it was a beautiful day. Made a great showing (especially those who left behind some rubber on the streets of DC during the parade) and had a blast. Those who went to lunch/dinner at Logan's afterward (11 of us) also had a good time.

Looking forward to doing it again!
