| Ithaca Festival Parade—Calling all FLRC members! | |
The Ithaca Festival Parade is Thursday, May 29. Line up is 6 p.m. It would be great for FLRC to be part of the parade, to show its presence and project a positive image to the local community. We want to announce who we are and what we do - that we are a valuable part of the community. We want to show that we are regular people who welcome everyone in Ithaca to come aboard (to be part of next year's parade). However, this is never going to fly unless we have a substantial number of people present. 20? 30? I am sure that under ten is way insubstantial and will only give a negative image! This is what I hope will be a last call. Some commitments please! Who would like to be a part of this fun, entertaining event? Don't feel that you need to be an old-timer FLRC'er, appear to be able to run like an antelope (or Kenyan) or even be or want to be competitive. That's not what FLRC is about. All newcomers and old-timers, and in-between; young, old and in-between, ALL welcome.
But we gotta know that we can do this, and to plan what it is we will do. Firstly: who would like to be part of the parade? Who wants to project pride in being a part of something important (I mean the running community, not the Festival)?
Once we can count on having paraders, we can begin to plan what we will do, and again, we will have to decide on a date and time in the near future most convenient for those who wish to be part of that. Please respond ASAP on the list-serve (have to go for that bandwagon effect), directly to me, or even by phone, like if you have questions or want more encouragement. My number is 273 9685.
