Veterans Day Parade and Picnic
Thursday, November 11, 2010

Perhaps you would like to join the Flamingos marching in the Veterans Day Parade on Thursday, Novembeer 11, 2010, from 9 to 11 am, culminating with a picnic celebration in Flamingo Park! Please contact Scott Needelman, who serves as our Flamingo Parade Marshall, SAN1455@ATT.net or Telephone 305-710-5584.


The Veterans Day Parade will begin at 9:00 am. Participants will line up along Convention Center Drive from 17th Street, marching east on Seventeenth Street to Washington Avenue and then south along Washington to Eleventh Street. They will then head west along 11th Street to Flamingo Park. There will be a brief ceremony in the park followed by a free picnic for all participants.

Commissioner Jerry Libbin has rallied support for the parade and picnic, noting "The men and women who serve our country with distinction deserve our appreciation every day. This event gives us an opportunity to come together as a community to thank them."

The wreath laying ceremony and 21-gun salute at Flamingo Park will begin at approximately 10:30 am following the parade. A moment of silence will be observed at 11:00 am in honor of the First World War Armistice Day tradition. Immediately following Commissioner Libbin will be hosting a picnic for parade participants.

Veterans Day Parade and Picnic -- November 11, 2010


Scott Needleman invites all those interested in participating in the Veterans Day Parade to meet on this Monday, October 11th, at The Seymour to make plans for the Parade and help design a banner for the Flamingo Neighborhood Association that can be used for the parade and for other similar events and activities.

All residents of the Flamingo Neighborhood are encouraged to attend and participate in a day of commemoration and celebration that will culminate in the Commissioner Jerry Libbin Picnic to be held in Flamingo Park.

The Flamingo Neighborhood Association has agreed to participate in the day's activities.  Since the route will go right through our neighborhood and be highlighted by the picnic in Flamingo Park, it's a great opportunity to increase our outreach in the community.
