It was a perfect day for Concord's annual Patriots' Day parade. Richard Warren, Bill Armocida, Therese Oliver and Jeanne Armocida marched carrying our Rotary banner and wheeling our "Shot Felt 'Round the World" syringe made for last year's 250th parade. Polio vaccines have always been a top priority for Rotarians and we continue efforts to eradicate this disease throughout the world.
After the parade which kicked off at 9AM the town held a block party in Concord Center. There was food, music and fun activities for everyone. Our club had a table set up to hand out flags, stickers and pins to people that stopped by. Rotarians Therese Oliver, Hilary Taylor, Ingrid Detweiler and Jeanne Armocida were the good will ambassadors at the table.
