<P>RE: CV Parade in Jeopardy ... Your Chance to Save It!</P></B>
<P></P>
<P>Dear Neighbors and Charles Village Fans,</P>
<P>For the past seven years, I have had the pleasure and honor of helping to
organize the Charles Village Parade. Working on this award-winning event – voted
Baltimore’s Best – has been one of the high points of each year for me.</P>
<P>Unfortunately, this year due to family health and other personal matters, I
am unable to provide the time and leadership needed to organize the parade this
year. </P>
<P>As such, the parade is in jeopardy. Unless someone steps forward soon to
serve as Parade Committee Chairperson the parade will have to be suspended. So
please consider volunteering for this most rewarding project. </P>
<P>I can provide you with all the necessary organizing materials, including the
data base, worksheets, task time lines, as well as templates for applications,
flyers, and thank you letters.</P>
<P>All you would need to do is convene a small working group about 6 times
between mid-February and early June to conduct the outreach, review the
applications, and organize the event on parade day. I can walk you through all
of these steps.</P>
<P></P>
<P>If you or anyone else you know is interested in providing the leadership for
this fun-filled, community building event ... please call me immediately to
discuss the details and how best to get started.</P>
<P>Thanks!</P>

<P>PS. I hope you help save the Charles Village Parade.
