[Physiofaculty] Fw: The 4th of July Parade is almost here!

[Physio Physio]

Good afternoon everyone,


I am forwarding this email in regards to the Annual 4th of July Parade that occurs every year which will end on the MBL Campus!


This year, there are some new rules and regulations that we will need to abide by in order to have a great time!


PLEASE, take the time to READ THIS EMAIL and potentially start discussions about what your ideas are for the parade!


Each course participates in this parade and brings their own "FLOATS" to the parade which we will all walk in!


Thanks in advance,


- CA Matt

Subject: The 4th of July Parade is almost here!


Hey everyone!

I'm emailing today to let you know we are less than 2 WEEKS away from the annual Fourth of July Parade, taking place right here in Woods Hole! I want to invite EVERYONE to join - let's make this year's the biggest celebration yet!

If you've participated in (or seen) the parade in years past, you know just how ridiculous and fun this parade can get! I'd like to remind you that now is the time to be thinking of class themes and to start designing your "float," as well as your costumes/props for the 4th. Creativity is not only welcomed, but enthusiastically encouraged!


So, here are the all-important details:

1) Please arrive at the WHOI parking lot on School Street at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, July 4th for line-up. This is where you get in formation with your team (if you have one) and do last-minute costume checks, say hi and get to know your neighbor, plan your trip to the fireworks later, daydream about watermelon at the end, etc. Basically, you just need to be here and be on time!
2) The parade will begin promptly at 12 noon. From here, you get to enjoy the fun!
3) The parade route will finish at Waterfront Park (that grassy bit across from Lillie where the Rachel Carson statue is). There, volunteers will be serving free watermelon and water, compliments of the MBL.

Now, it's time for the slightly less fun (but necessary) part: The Rules

- Because we want to keep the streets clean, there will be absolutely no water balloons permitted for the duration of the event, even after it ends. (Yeah, I know, I'm lame) They're bad for the environment, bad for people who accidentally get hit with them, and bad for our reputation. We don't want any police complaints, or we might not get to do the parade in the future!
- Candy may be tossed to the crowd. Be careful when throwing it toward people, and please try not to drop it in the water! The local marine life (and the locals) will thank you.
- Feel free to travel as you wish (by car, bike, foot, wheelbarrow, unicycle, stilts, if you can find a rocketship, I'm sure that'd be fine too) Note: The MBL is not liable for any injuries sustained during or after the parade.

Attached to this email, you will find this year's parade poster.  You can also check out photos from last year’s parade here—in case you need some inspiration:  http://social.mbl.edu/scenes-from-the-july-4th-woods-hole-parade

For any additional questions, please feel free to contact me! Looking forward to seeing all of you at the parade!

Best,
Lauren Medeiros
