COMMUNITY RESPONDS
TO PARADE COMMITTEE APPEAL FOR INVOLVEMENT
That invitations to participate in
the decision-making progress involved in organizing the
Pride Parade are being taken seriously this year was
clearly demonstrated at Monday night's committee meeting
at the home of Paul Thompson. Last year, committee co-chairs
Thompson and Chris Estep were often the sole attendees at
Parade meetings. On Monday night, at least 10 people
eagerly engaged in discussions of various organizational
issues, ranging from pricing of parade registrations to
the possibility of expanding the pre-parade activities on
the day of the parade to include an arts festival in
Memorial Park. This year's Pride Parade takes place on
Sun, Jun 25.
Organizers are holding a contest to create a design for
this year's logo. The winner receives $100. Contest
deadline is Mar 25. CLICK HERE
for info. The next Pride Parade
committee meeting
is on Mon, Mar 27, at 7PM at Paul Thompson's, 1133 NW 32nd, and is open to the public.
