REDWOOD CITY 4th of JULY PARADE

We’re excited to extend invitations, as is the custom, to non-SUVCW members who wish to portray Union soldiers only and civilians.

If you want to participate, please contact Joe Marti to get a information packet with details on the Peninsula Celebration Association Independence Day Parade in Redwood City (or check out www.acwa.org). Please note that you will need to have a copy of the attachment with you when you arrive at the parade area to show the uniformed security people at the check in point to be able to enter the formation area. Also please note the street you will be lining up on (Alden), and locate it on the map provided in the packet.

If you know of any reenactors who will be marching with us, please forward this email along with the attachment to them so they can get into the formation area without delay.

In Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty,
