Adding up prep time (approximately 16 hours for Bob, David, Cary and Wilf) and then 4 hours of service by each volunteer on the day, we are looking at around 100 community service hours!

Kudos to the all of the volunteers. This was one of our best volunteer turnouts and the smoothness of the organization and parade execution reflected that.

73 and thanks to all of our volunteers,
