Fun in the Sun in Wrightstown
The WRIGHTSTOWN MEMORIAL DAY PARADE took place on
Monday, May 26 ... and we had a blast!
Scores of pocket Constitutions, sticky patriotic stars, and mini-flags were distributed all along the parade route ... and the welcome we received was warm and wonderful! Our town crier read quotes from the Founding Fathers to sincere and appreciative applause. Thanks to all who joined us to honor our nation's heroes ... and a special thanks to Jerry for the cool 1952 truck!
Concerning the De Pere parade, NEW Patriots parade committee chairman Ron Zahn received the email below from the De Pere Kiwanis Memorial Day Parade Committee: We've been disinvited! Thanks to all who have joined us for past parades and who were looking forward to participating again this year. WE APPRECIATE your patriotism and hope you'll join us in WRIGHTSTOWN instead!
Please read our response to De Pere's decision here. And then, if you're moved to defend us against their charges, consider sending an email or making a phone call to the following representatives of the De Pere Kiwanis:
President Larry Lasee -- lars6251@gmail.com -- 920-265-2762

Ron:
I'm afraid your group is no longer welcome to participate in the De Pere Kiwanis Memorial Day Parade. Last year you allowed a political candidate to march with your group. I did not realize at the time that he was in full campaign mode while marching with your group, but by the end of the route it was clear that he was wearing his campaign stickers and was handing out his campaign literature, while marching as a member of your group. Since we had turned away other political candidates under the rules of our parade, which clearly prohibit politicians, this was a flagrant violation, and we were questioned about the double standard. In addition, we again received complaints about your group being a political organization and we were questioned why we were allowing your group to march in the parade, but not others. Given these complaints and violations, the Parade Committee asked the entire membership of the De Pere Kiwanis Club how to handle this, and our Club voted unanimously to exclude your group from participation in future parades.
Thank you,
Eric Enli
Chairperson, De Pere Kiwanis Memorial Day Parade Committee
