Veterans Day Parade and Other Events

Hi Shipmates,

The Auburn 42nd Annual Veterans Parade is this Sat. Nov. 6th. We will meet in front of the Auburn Transit Parking Garage at 110 2nd Street S.W. 98001, where there is free parking for this event, and then proceed up to the staging area before the parade starts at 11 AM. The parade floats will arrive at 9:30 on "A" Street SW, which is on the east side of the Parking Garage, along with the cars that will be in the parade.

Here is a map of the parade route with the parking garage shown near the Transit Center. Click on the map to see a larger version.

We expect that all of the Puget Sound bases will be marching with us. Those who need to ride in the parade will be accommodated. Look forward to seeing you there. Sunshine has been ordered!

The next Veterans event occurs on Thursday Nov. 11th at the Tahoma National Cemetery which is located at 18600 SE 240th St. Kent, WA 98042. We would love to see as many members as possible attend and show the flag. It would be prudent to arrive early to find parking. The event will start at 11 AM with much ceremony. We could also have lunch afterwards at Gloria's Restaurant and Lounge located at 23220 Maple Valley Black Diamond Road, 98038 (Highway 169). Sunshine has also been ordered!

Also, don't forget to fill out your registration form for the Joint Holiday Lunch at the Seattle Yacht Club on Saturday, Dec. 18 from 10:30 to 3:00. Don't miss this one! You can get a copy of the form in the latest issue of the newsletter (click the link in the upper right) or by clicking here.
