Financial
Gift Presentation Night
Friday,
September 24 will be the date of a very special event for The Parade
Organization, the Financial Gift Presentation Night. This evening, The
Parade Volunteers will distribute the funds that have been collected through
the sales of Parade merchandise. Representatives from dozens of
groups will be on hand to receive our gifts. Everyone is invited to
attend. The festivities will start at 7:30pm at the Stempien VFW on
the corner of 47th Street and Tripp Avenue in Chicago.
General
Meeting #1
The
first General Meeting of 2004 will take place on Friday, October 1,
2004. It takes hundreds of volunteers and lots of planning to organize
a motorcycle parade of this magnitude. At the seven meetings prior to
The Parade, new members will be informed about the operations of The
Parade Organization, and all members will be assigned to specific duties for
the day of The Parade. Parade merchandise will also be sold at the
General Meetings, which offers a great opportunity to obtain 2004
products before The Parade. After the meetings, refreshments will be
available for a small fee, and there will be a raffles for door prizes
and a 50/50 prize. Anyone interested in helping at The Parade is
welcome to attend this meeting. And remember, you do not have to own
or ride a motorcycle to join in.

Benefit for Rita
Stevenson-September 25
This event will benefit TFT Member, Rita
Stevenson, the 27-year-old mother of three little boys, who has also been
raising her three nieces for the past six years. This young woman has
endured more hardship in the past several years than anyone should ever have
to. Rita was diagnosed with a large pituitary tumor in her brain that will
require a craniotomy to remove. As you
can imagine, their current financial state is not good, and we anticipate that
the situation will only degrade as Rita has not been able to work since
discovering the tumor, and will not be able to return to work for several
months after her brain surgery. We are hoping to ease her burden
just a little so that she can go into this challenge with a positive outlook
and attitude.
