Parade Season Update By: Kevin Potter, Lt. Cmdr. Of Units<br />
Parade season gets rolling again with three parades in <strong>August</strong> and three in September. Along with those will be some<br />
ticks on the ‘ole odometer as five of them are out of town. Let me thank all of you in advance for hitting the road to<br />
promote <strong>Tangier</strong>, <strong>Shrine</strong>rs Hospitals for Children and <strong>Shrine</strong>rs International.<br />
Saturday, <strong>August</strong> 4th we will be in Carson, Iowa for the Carson Rodeo parade. Lineup is 9:30 am on the rodeo<br />
grounds as in years past with a 10:30 am start. From Highway 92, go north on S. Commercial St. to North Ave. & turn<br />
left into the grounds. Oasis afterwards will be at the Community Center as usual, hosted by Coral Lodge No. 430.<br />
Special thanks go out to our Masonic brethren there for the hospitality.<br />
Then we are off to Cedar Rapids, Iowa for CSSA 2012. The parade is Saturday, <strong>August</strong> 11th at 9:00 am. The parade<br />
will be entirely on the Kirkwood Community College campus. As usual, the Provost will line everyone up at the<br />
hotel and we will caravan as a group to the lineup area. Commander of Units Mark Batchelder and I will know more<br />
after the Parade Marshal meeting on Thursday and information will be posted in the hospitality room as soon as it’s<br />
available. More information can be found on the official website - www.elkahir.org/cssa2012.shtml.<br />
Saturday, <strong>August</strong> 24th is the Millard Days parade with lineup at 10:00 am with an 11:00 am start time. We are in our<br />
usual location on S. 131st St. by Western Bowl. Oasis afterwards will be back at <strong>Tangier</strong>.<br />
September has us on the road to Schulyer on Monday the 3rd (Labor Day), Plattsmouth on Saturday the 8th, and we<br />
wrap up the parade season on Saturday the 15th in Nebraska City.<br />
For the latest, up-to-date parade information (dates, times, line-up areas and Oasis locations), there are several<br />
options besides the Hot Sands - which for publishing/production reasons is outdated by time you read it. Check our<br />
website www.tangiershrine.com or www.tangieronline.org and click on the Parades tab on the left side of the screen.<br />
For those less computer savvy, the latest parade schedule will be printed out and hanging on the bulletin boards in the<br />
hallway outside and inside the Lounge. I would ask, however, that these copies stay at <strong>Tangier</strong> and are put back when<br />
you are done. Feel free to jot down the information on your calendar or ask the nice Ladies in the office to make you<br />
a copy. ‘Til the next parade…<br />
