<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">Hi Everyone,
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">As I write this email, I am reminded of the reason for which we want to have our name out in the community we live in.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">After sending a few emails to the organizers of the Parade of Cultures and getting visual information, I asked a friend who has been at the World of Montgomery festival.
The following is what he told me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">The festival is located in the parking lot close to the bus stop, (transit center). When you come on RT 355/Hungerford Drive you turn left to go to the MCPS building. You
make a right turn and then another immediate right turn to get to the bus stop. This road is open and not part of the festival. (good place for metro access to come for drop-off or pick-up location).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">We would like to meet at the bus stop by 12:30 pm, so for metro access users, the appointment time is at 12:30 pm. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">We will have 1 or 2 volunteers, (thanks to the volunteer center) who will guide us to the starting point of the parade. There is an outer rectangle and an inner rectangle
of tents. The parade will go between the two rectangles. Imagine the national convention exhibit hall, with outer tables and 1 inner square of tables. The parade can be loud as music will be all over.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">Please wear colorful clothes as to differentiate from others. We will have canes and that is different from others. I think any NFB t-shirt will do. A hoody, sweatshirt
or a jacket with NFB logo is just fine. We will have Braille alphabet cards for everyone to hand out to people.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">The parade will be over at 2:00 pm. For metro access users, pick-up time should be after 2:30 pm, location bus stop. If you want to stay and enjoy the festival, it is open
until 4:00 pm. Many county agencies will be there. The board of elections, Health & human services and others.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">If you have any questions, please email me or call me.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
