A block party permiY requires 60 percent of properry owners along a block pariy to sign a petition to allow a festival. Grand Old Day

Dear Chief Harrington:
I am writing on behalf of this yeaz's Grand Oid Day planning committee to request the
presence of the Honor Guazd at the Grand Old Day pazade. Unfortunately for the last two
years the VFW and the Legion both didn't show up to lead the parade down Grand
Avenue and we were left with angry Americans calling and emailing the office with their
disappointment. Having the Honor Guard at the parade would create a wonderful
patriotic feel for the event.
Grand Old Day will be held on Sunday, June 5` 2005. The parade line-up begins at 9:30
a.m. A confirmation letter will be sent to the Honor Guard once you have confirmed.
We truly wish you will consider our parade for the Honor Guard.
Sincerely,
Amanrla.CC}!ll ?
Executive Director
