Bring ideas to the June 10th meeting for the Electric Light Parade July 3, 2002. Inventory what you have in a patriotic flavor so you can add your stuff to the float. Theme "A Tribute to America". Patti has storage room for stuff until the night of decoration. Make it a date June 30 Sunday, 1:00 P.M. at a garage on campus (the one used last time).Someone take pictures for inclusion on this web site.
