Brothers,

• There are two parades that are in March in honor of St. Patrick.  

1.  March 1st, is the Alexandria parade.  Attached is the info I received from our Brother Bob Fay.  The great news is that Gerard has delivered our NEW Cunningham banner and we will be marching behind the State Board.  We have to line up between 11:00am and 11:45am.  See the marshalling point on the attachment.  For some of us to ensure parking, we are going early and meeting up at Murphy’s Pub.
2.  March 8th in Manassas – The Cunningham Division is marching with the Fr. Kelly Division in the Historic District.  We still don’t have the parade details, but when they are published, I will send them out.. 

• More info will follow and be on our website aohloudoun.org as well as another email from me.
• Ticket sales on and around St Patrick’s day.  We are on track for Finnigans and Ashton Pub. during the weekend right before the 17th.  We will have 3000 tickets to sell.
• We are without a signature event (like Ballyshaners) to sell our raffle tickets, so we are seeking alternatives in both the near term as well as later in the early fall. Thanks to Mike Hippchen we are almost certain to be able to set up a tent and sell tickets at the Highland Games out in West Virginia,  We are also making calls to wineries and distilleries to be able to present our sales during the summer.  
• Any other thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
