Just thought I'd make the subject line a little more advertising on this. This Saturday, March 1, is Alexandria's St Paddy's Day Parade. Please join us (meaning all the fun people) in walking with the Virginia Scottish Games contingent, followed by lunch and drinks at a pub near us, and catching up after a long winter's rest. Come and continue to get excited with the rest of us for the upcoming games in April. We usually have a good-sized group come out, so you will blend right in with the rest of us. You won't regret it! Here are the details......
From our Parade's Chair:
It is time once again to put on the kilt! I am sending out this email to all those that have walked with the Virginia Scottish Games in previous years to ask if you would once again come walk with us on Saturday, March 1st, in the annual Alexandria St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Like last year, the parade steps off at 12:30p, so we'll be staging around 11:15a (exact details on time and staging location will follow in a separate email by the end of the week -- keep an eye out for it). Please come dressed in your kilts, tartans, and VSGA sweatshirts with your athletic "implements" in tow (any athlete that has not received a VSGA sweatshirt before for coming out and walking with us can get one on March 1st). Also, we will be distributing pencils and brochures to those lining the parade route.
Thank you again for your participation and I hope to see you all there on Saturday, March 1st! We always have lots have fun. Please respond to this email if you plan on attending so I can get a headcount. I have included my cell number if you can't find the VSGA unit on the morning of the parade, or if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Eric McCleaf
