When: May 31 The event starts at 8:00 We need to be in place by 7:30. 
Where: First timers will meet at the Waffle House in Dacula, corner of hwy 316 and hwy 8.  Those experienced with the parade will be given their posts ahead of time.

What we do:  We watch the parade and help get the floats lined up.  Then we help with traffic coordination.

A little parade history: This was Marvin Atherton's idea noting metro Atlanta did not have a Memorial Day parade. Rick Morris KD4VOJ had just moved to Dacula and wanted the parade as a scout and amateur radio service. Rick and Bill AB0KF agreed to coordinate with GARS.

If you want to use your new shinny truck to display the GARS banner, let David know.

David, KA4KKF is coordinating this event, and needs to know who plans to be there.  We need approximately 20 members to show up, so don't be bashful.

Pictures from 2004.  Chowing down at the Waffle House before the parade.  The pictures with the big smiles were before the rain.  No actual parade pictures.  Afraid to get the camera wet!
