Seattle: Sunday 6/28 F.L.O. Pride Event's

Thu, 06/25/2009 - 15:08 | David's BLOG
  • Community Event

Hello Everyone,

Join us for Seattle Pride!

Show Seattle how important all our families are to kids in need by joining us this year at Pride! Families Like Ours will be celebrating families in this year’s Seattle Pride Parade, Sunday June 28th. We need you! Come and join us, pass out balloons to kids, information about becoming a foster and adoptive family and have fun. FLO needs you, your family, friends and co-workers. Now is the time to show your support. Contact us at 206-441-7602.

We are #44 in the lineup for the Seattle Pride Parade this Sunday the 28th. There are over 150 floats and marching contingents this year.

We need to have everyone wanting to be in the parade, kids and adults in our meeting area at the corner of 3rd & Madison – look for the FLO balloons. From there we will head to our assigned parade line up spot on Seneca by 10:20am; the parade starts at 11am.

Families please remember strollers if needed for your smaller children, or a wagon. ALSO everyone please remember to bring water bottles, and extras if you think you might need it. The parade organizers do not supply water along the route. We will be walking behind a FLO banner, and also handing out FLO balloons to people along the route.

I will also need a couple of volunteers to be parade route monitors. These volunteers will help keep the group moving and to not spread out to far. The organizers Seattle Out and Proud would like the parade to move along at a steady pace.
