Musical Event Formerly Known as "Sousa" The event will take place at the Monday, July 3rd
Community Band Concert at Lions Park. The SEC will be handing out 500 American flags to
those in attendance. SEC members are asked to be at the park at 7:00 to pass out the flags.
Concert begins at 7:30.
4th of July Parade To date there are 34 entries in the parade. Some of the new or returning
groups are: a marching swarm of bees, Ronald McDonald, Zamboni machine and Knights of
Columbus. Also, there are seven entertainment groups that have utilized $7,030 of the budget.
Jill is still waiting to hear from a couple more bands that have not put their applications in yet
and there will be at least two groups using the $200 initial payment for Associated Attraction
floats. An email was sent to one of the gymnastic clubs that has submitted an application
asking that they do not perform on flatbeds for liability reasons. If the second group puts an
application in they will receive the same email. Prior to the parade the line-up both in
numerical and alphabetical order will be emailed to SEC members. Those members who have
said they will be available to help with line-up are: Sandy, Maura, Liz, Haley, Teresa and
possibly Tarina. Brian will help at the Emerson and Prospect intersection.
Family Bike Ride Will take place August 12th beginning at Melas Park. Registration begins at
9:00 a.m., members need to be there early to set up the check-in area. There is going to be a
new giveaway this year, a bike bell that will have our logo. We will not be looking for sponsors
this year. Registration will be available online and by flyer. Possibly ask riders to wear purple
for the 100th Anniversary and put those participants into a special raffle. Once again, the SEC
will provide coffee, water and snack. Teresa will be contacting MPPD Greg Sill.
NYEE May be back on the table again this year, NYEE is on Saturday.
