Celebrate Shoreline (& parks!)

Thank you all for helping us at Celebrate Shoreline Parade and Festival!  It was a beautiful day and the parade group for our park effort and neighborhood was awesome.  Not only did we raise visibility with Aldercrest Annex but let everyone know the Ballinger Neighborhood is a strong community.  

Enjoy the photos below.

Join us at the Celebrate Shoreline Parade and Festival Saturday, August 21!

We need volunteers to walk in the Celebrate Shoreline Parade.  Parade participants collect at 11 am and the parade starts at 12 noon.

We will be wearing green shirts with brown/kaki pants with a head band of leaves (idea is to look like trees).  We will have a banner with “Keep public lands in public hands, preserve Aldercrest Annex as our park” to promote parks and Aldercrest Annex as a park.

For the kids that will be walking in the parade with us, we will have a bucket of bubbles so the kids can make big bubbles. We will be handing out candy and carrying a couple signs.

Let us know if you want to help! Send us an email using the ‘Contact us’ page and comment form. Make sure to enter your email address so we can contact you.
