Tagging
Day will be on Sunday, November 20. We will meet at Pindos Restaurant located
at the corner of Archer and Pulaski. Wear your Toys for Tots Products so we
can easily be spotted along Western Avenue. Wear lightweight shoes as you will
be getting in and out of vehicles to post up our signs and flyers all along
Western Avenue. We will be tagging (posterizing) from 9500 south to 5400 north
and on Foster.
Be at Pintos at 9:00 if you want breakfast.
The meeting will start at 10:00 am with a noon departure to do some Toys for
Tots talking.

On
Thanksgiving Day, we will assemble at the Koffee Kettle Restaurant to
eventually meet with Bill Wildt of “Motorsports Unlimited” near the Museum
of Science and Industry. Instead of playing football, we will ride motorcycles
to the spot where the first automobile race was held over 100 years ago. We
also will be doing the Toys for Tots talk about our Parade. Everyone gets
interviewed for his TV show at The Rock.
If you would like breakfast at Koffee Kettle
be there before departing at 8:30 am.

To our
members, all Riding Road Blockers in Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three, we
are asking you to become permanent stationery road blockers upon arriving at
North Side street intersections .
Due to the amount of participants, safety is
number one to maintain this Parade. The density of people on the north side
has made it necessary to have our experienced volunteers drop back and man a
unblocked corner. It is burdening you with a few more extra hours of managing
the safety of all those participating. But this is what we do to have a parade
and we are ultimately responsible for all the cause and reactions that
day.
We need your co-operation in doing more than
you have done in the past. This has been well received with the city to
increase the amount of street corners manned by our volunteers.
Tommy Rotto will be explaining how each Tier
will effectively be responsible for manning additional corners along Western
Avenue after movement of the majority of their Tiers.

Also
on the day of the Parade, be it balloon, parking or product people, upon your
tasks being done, hit the streets.
Santo and the 87th Street crew
need more volunteers in the back at 87th. We need everyone to go
beyond your normal duties and help wherever you can. The lot itself needs more
managing upon the first Tiers being disbursed. If you are not sure what else
you can do please ask at the General Meetings. Also very vital are the
alternate emergency routes. Every
one of our volunteers needs to know what arterial northbound streets will be
used and starting where.
Please pay attention at meetings, as this is
very important to the city as it can take us off Western due to a fire, etc.
This can happen anywhere along the route and you must know if Ashland or Damen
is to be used from where to where until we can re-group. There is a lot going
on and we are asking for your help the entire Parade time, which is generally
about 5 hours. We need it from start to finish, so we can maintain our claim
as the World’s Largest Motorcycle Parade.
Thanks for your help and extra commitment
this year.
Sincerely, and thanks Robert “ Cooch”
