Our next event will be:

2)Patriot's Day Parade, Lexington, MA.
Parade Form Up: 1:00 PM Parade Step Off: 2:00 PM

We are planning to arrive in Concord around 7:30 AM at the Alcott School Parking Lot. PARKING FILLS UP FAST SO PLAN TO ARRIVE AROUND 7:30 AM, otherwise you will have to find street parking, or park downtown and walk to the parade start at the Armory. Roads begin to close at 8:00 AM.

Car-Caravan: If anyone is interested in car-caravaning to Concord, Let me know. We will leave from the Commuter Lot at Exit 68 off of I-84 at 5:30 AM SHARP! Otherwise I will see everyone in Concord.

Put your faith in God and keep your powder dry,

Todd L. Gerlander
