[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Need Volunteers for the Annual Alexandria George Washington's Birthday Parade on February 17th.

Carol IS correct.  George's BIRTHDAY is the 17th, but the parade is on the
Monday (21st) because that is the federal President's day holiday.
Sorry for the confusion

Subject: [Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Need Volunteers for the Annual
Alexandria George Washington's Birthday Parade on February 17th.

Hello ALL,

                This is a heads up that we will need between 10 and 15
amateur radio operators to support the annual George Washington's Birthday
Parade in Alexandria. The club has supported this event for over 30 years

 

DATE February 17th Parade is 1PM to 2PM but we need to be on site by 11 AM
to set up and find parking.  

 

Normally,  we meet at the Fire Training Center at 10AM to help with the
Trailer and to make assignments.

 

We then car pool to the finish area, meet with the marshals, set up the
reviewing stand station and get AREDN set up between the Trailer and the
Reviewing Stand

 

We work with the parade marshals (that may be CAP cadets) . 

 

By 12:30 we expect to collect all the changes at the Trailer and then send
the updated file (order of march) to the reviewing stand.

 

Parade steps off at 1PM and should be OVER at 3PM and then we generally go
somewhere for a late lunch and review of how we did.

 

If you can volunteer  please let me know.

Also, If you have AREDEN,  an APRS Handheld,  let me know.

You do NOT need to be an ARES volunteer to support this public service
event.  This is one of the few events that the CLUB does for the city each
year.  As we (post COVID) meet in a city facility our support is important.
