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/).

The parade date is Sunday, March 15th, 2009. Please RSVP to John Palmgren at john_palmgren@yahoo.com with your full name ASAP.

There is no limit on the number of cars that can attend, we just need a headcount for the application. Also, if anyone has any kids that want to carry the banner ahead of the group, let John know.

NO burn-outs
NO chirping of tires
NO throwing of candy or trinkets from the cars

Let's be on our best behavior and represent the club responsibly, please.

March is an unpredictable month for weather, so dress accordingly. The Parade will step off come rain or shine. (There is NO rain/snow date.) Grandstand seating next to the Reviewing Stand may be reserved in advance, at $5.00/per person. You can purchase tickets by contacting John Bowen at 301-384-6533 or by email at johndbowen@earthlink.net, or through the website www.dcstpatsparade.com (http://www.dcstpatsparade.com/)

We will be meeting at the Pentagon Reservation Parking Lot. We will be departing for DC @ 10:45 AM. Parade staging is at 11:00 AM downtown for parade start @ noon. It should be over by ~2:30 PM.

The pictures are online at http://www.dcstpatsparade.com/

Thanks goes out to those that did make the parade; yes we got wet, but that's easily taken care of with a quick wash or detail spray. :applause::applause:

There isn't a single picture from our club :curse:... there is one picture of the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky DC/MD/VA club. I'm sure for the non-car guys/gals a car is a car and since they had 18 cars to our paltry 7 cars they made the cut.

What happened to everyone that said that they would show up and represent the club? :mad:

I marked myself as tentative from the start (see post #2), as I had surgery and wasn't sure if I was going to be recovered enough. Don't know what everyone else's excuse is, though...

Did anyone from the club take any pics? If so, please post them here, or please send to me and I'll get them up.
