A heads up to the Bad Fashion offenders in our community: The Famous4 Fashion Police will be out in force, protecting our children from being exposed to the damage caused by reckless coordination, wardrobe expired, bad banana khaki karma, excessive accessorizing and other violations that harm our kids sense of fashion understanding and confidence. All your favorite organizations will be there with new entries, neighborhood friends, and families creating their one-of-a-kind floats and participation.

Dear Parade Organizer,
I, Chaplain & Reverend Edgar Shirley Welty, Jr., have submitted an entry, (My red 2002 Chevy Sebring Convertible) in your parade. I am representing the Golden Gate Guard (GGG). The GGG is Company A, 1st Bn.., of the 31st. (CA) Regiment of the United States Volunteers-America. (USV-A) We are staffing up to coordinate with military reserve units in the rendering of Funeral Honors.
I am the Commander of the Golden Gate Guard. I am also the Chief of
Chaplains with the rank of major in the USV-A
I have two questions. 1. When am I going to find out what my place is in the line-up? 2. Could you get me a driver? Note: I hope to ride sitting on the boot above the back seat. I can’t be both there and at the wheel. Thus, my desire for a driver. Note: If I have to, I’ll drive myself, but it will be more effective if I have a driver.
Thanks for reading this, I hope you help me
Pro Deo et Patria! For God and Country
Chaplain, Major and Reverend (UCC) Edgar Shirley Welty, Jr.
