MLK parade in Tulsa on Monday Jan 16th | Can you march with TPF in the parade?

Dear grassroots,

The Tulsa Peace Fellowship will be marching again this year in the Martin Luther King Parade, on Jan 16th 2012. We paid our entry fee for one vehicle and a group of up to 20 people. We have our official entry number.

Last year, T. Nuspl and J.MacMahon were at the head carrying/holding the TPF white/green banner, and B. Cheek drove the float.

THE MLK PARADE WILL BE ON MONDAY JANUARY 16TH
--Line up of participating groups starts about 2 hours earlier, starting about 9 am

--This should put the "fun" in Fellowship: you can bring warm drinks, breakfast foods, music, for a kind of tailgate party prior to the parade, as we wait to start

--It will be over by about 1:30 pm

Please contact TODAY by phone, TPF Vice-President's mobile number: 918-407-3493 or by email to the TPF Steering Committee tpf.918@gmail.com

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND INVITE FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO MARCH WITH US. Space is limited, so call now to let us know you'll be joining us.
