Hello Friends and Neighbors,

As promised, I am back to ask/pester/beg for your help with our July 4th parade!

Even if you will be out of town that day, we can use your help. It is such a fun day and if you can't volunteer, please make sure you decorate your bikes, your kids' bikes, your dog, your hamster, whatever you feel like showing off!

To make it easy, I am going to list what we need specific help with-we appreciate anything you can do to make this a great parade!

Thanks so much!

1. A terrific (or at least enthusiastic) singer(s) to sing the National Anthem at the school. We'll have an a/v system for you.

2. People who can definitely bring a watermelon and/or 1-2 dozen cookies. (Yes, they can be store-bought. )

3. 3-4 people who can be judges for the parade decorations and/or games. We have one judge already.

4. Someone to buy and fill up balloons for the water balloon toss game. (And be a judge, if you can!)

5. 2-3 people to show up to the BH park around 8 am to help tie balloons around the park. We already have some neighbors committed to this but I know they would appreciate your help!

6. Someone to buy, fill and set up pinatas and bring bats or sticks (one pinatas for little kids, one for bigger kids) and monitor the pinata-smashing.

7. As many people as possible to help clean up the playground after the picnic.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Please forward this to neighbors who might not be on the list--
