Route is Hale Street through Rockville Center, right on Elm Street,
right on Prospect Street, left on North Park to the Elks parking lot. We
will step of as close to 7:20 as possible so as to get in the center
just after the music stops. Let me know if this works for you. It will
be dark by 7:30, so we do not want to go any later. Originally, we were
going to start at 7:10.
The Elks will be providing hot dogs, hamburgs and sodas at club
prices. It is a small fund raiser for them. They are also marching in
the parade.
