Another stalwart of the chapter calendar is the annual parade through “The Hill” section of St. Louis celebrating Columbus Day. Historically our group of Ferraris is one of the leaders of the parade the Bring lots of candy to throw along the parade route. If this is your first time doing the parade bring a bag of no less than 50 pieces of candy to make the route. Ferraris only for the parade.

We would appreciate an RSVP for the parade so we have an idea how big our group should be but it is also OK to just show up. [email protected]

Columbus Day Parade is tomorrow.

"They" want us there by 11:00 am so the parade can have an on time noon start.

"They" want us to make sure to bring current insurance card.

Make sure to bring lots of candy. We have 2 bags of 760 count Tootsie Rolls which is overkill but we know that we will make it to the end of the route without any problem.

If you can't do the parade then do join us at Eclipse.

We look forward to you joining us.

I will be setting up a dinner event for early February.

I need to get back onto locking down our 2014 list of events. Our board has some ideas for some new ones to add that need to be solidified.

Chapter Secretary
