Dec. 10th
McCormick Place parking lot "B". (Truck marshalling area, south McCormick, same as last year)
Line up begins at 8:30
Parade leaves at 10:00am!

From there we'll be going north up Lake Shore Drive to Foster. West on Foster to the Marines HQ for toy drop off, and then off to the GLJT/TFT/X-MAS party. We'll have food, drinks, & prizes. This is a great time to meet some of the GLJT Members.

The parade will be pretty slow going, and staging may take some time so be sure to dress for the weather. There will be plenty of photo opportunities along the way, news crews, and GLJT members taking official video, so be sure to smile too!

Get to www.gljt.org (see our toys for tots forum) for more event info and to register.

Or contact our TFT Coordinator Doug Haynes at [email protected] -or- our PR Director Shad Shafer at [email protected].

This is a great event for a great cause!

If you haven't seen 250 4x4s on Lake Shore Drive in mass, you haven't seen anything!

As of right now, NO HATS to non-memebers!
We only ordered a limited amount this time around.
The people who are getting one know who they are.
If you did not get in on this time, we will be running another batch in the spring.
 
We're all good,trying to hide from the daily chores,not doing a very good job of that, my hiding places keep getting discovered. Any suggestions?
