Veteran's Day Parade -,11/10/14

What can we possibly say about last Saturday's Veteran's Day Parade. It was awesome! That is an understatement too. Again, our club turned out in fantastic style from beginning to end to decorate the float on Saturday morning as well as volunteering to put out about 30 flags all around the city square. Everyone really knew what they were doing because they have done it in the past, but all of the club members, include McBride's grandson, Wade all pitched, put streamers, flags, banners, decorating in a fantastic red, white and blue that made all of us so proud. Those of us who are veterans know what it is like, when our city turns out in grand style to honor them. We had 20 kids show up to ride in the Kid's Bike Brigade, and two very excited kids walked away with two new bikes, donated by Academy Sports Store here in San Marcos. Sure the kids might have been a bit small for the bikes, but they will be able to trade them in on something smaller, or grow into the bigger ones. What a great crowd of parents who walked with some of our club members to make sure the kids didn't fall or fall. Thanks parents. The Parks and Recreation did a great job of organizing this event and we thank them for it. The free breakfast of biscuits and gravy and sausage was tremendous, thanks to the graciousness of Cafe on the Square. Everyone was so upbeat, and the whole event made you proud to be an American in a wonderful country. God Bless America. The club members that turned out, and some of our members was off doing other Kiwanis functions, like Moe who was helping out with a race, but the ones that made it, were Sam, Chester, Pam and Randy, Del, Kellie and Steve Whigham, Francis, McBride and his grandson, Wade, John P, Gary N., Gary S., Doug Balkman,Ted, Frederick, Beverly, and Glen who brought his ATV. Thanks Glen. Also thanks for those who were able to follow the float back to the warehouse and dismantle All in I would say Saturday was Teamwork in Action!
