[lavplist] Gay Straight Alliance Parade and LAVP

[Ray Schuster]

To LAVP Members and Supporters: 
 
Los Altos Voices for Peace has agreed to be an honorary co-sponsor of the Gay Straight Alliance parade in downtown Los Altos on Sunday, June  4.  As an LAVP member or supporter, your participation in the parade is encouraged.  As one of our members put it, you can‘t have peace without tolerance.

 The GSA Parade is  expected to be a joyous community celebration honoring the Los Altos  High School Gay Straight Alliance and the LGBT community within the  greater Los Altos-Los Altos Hills neighborhood..
 
We need to have you show up, sign in at the check in desk and be in  
your assigned spots in the parking lot assembly area by 11:30.  This in the parking area behind Maltby’s restaurant.  
 
Look for the LAVP banner.

Here are more details as provided by King Lear, parade organizer:
 
The timing of the event will be to start the parade at 12:00 sharp.   
The parade route is only 15 minutes long walking very slowly.  The  
entire parade period could be as short as a half hour.  The end of  
the parade will have a banner urging the spectators to join in and  
walk with us around to the plaza as a way to collect the audience for  
the rally.  The rally will begin when most have assembled in the  
area.  This should be on or before 1:00.  The closing rally will have  
a few speeches by students and invited guest speakers and will take  
about one half hour.  At the completion of the rally, the crowd will  
disperse and the clean-up volunteers will cover the area picking up  
any trash that may have accumulated.

 Check In
ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST CHECK IN ONE HOUR PRIOR TO THE PARADE AND MUST BE IN ASSIGNED AREAS, IN LINE AND READY BY 11:30  A.M.
