Hello all!
This is fast approaching! ACK! I know that some of you are working hard on your gear and might not have it ready in time to get deployed prior to the parade. For this year I'm totally cool with that. Deployment is new and I will give that leeway this year. However, if your gear is ready for deployment, please go ahead and have it submitted as soon as possible.
Do we have anyone that will be at the parade that would be willing to help people out with getting pictures for deployment? I'm thinking we could do this fairly quickly if you arrive early in the meeting spot that we had last year. For those that don't know where that is - it's on the main level of the Marriott just in front of the escalators. I'll post the time etc. closer to but let's see what we can do to arrange some photos.
For everyone with a +1, I'm going to need to have a name and what capacity they are going to be there with us. I want to be sure that all 405th costumed members get in before we start giving out wrist bands to handlers etc. Please understand that the parade gives us the bands for costumers so we have to be sure we don't fill up on handlers and not have much for people in the parade to watch.
