Last November, a [letter] was published in The Reminder as to serious concerns regarding the future of the parade. Nine out of the 10 present members will be resigning after July 4 due issues such as years of service, age of members, more non-resident members than town residents, family and personal commitments etc. Over the years, appeals for new members have not generated the results hoped for and it is now time for a new group to take over the reins. To that end; however, I have received calls from six individuals who are interested in learning more about how the committee plans and organizes the parade.
