TRC Kids Join the Elk Grove Parade

The kids of the Rock church will be participating in the Elk Grove Western Festival Parade on May 1st, 2010.

Requirements:
All kids of The Rock Church from 12 years old and younger are invited to join us. All Children under 7 years old are required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents will need to sign a consent form upon arrival for children not accompanied by an adult.

Time:
We will meet at 8:30 and the float is scheduled to leave by 9:00.

Where to Meet:
You will go to Rancho Drive off of Waterman Rd. (between Elk Grove Blvd. and the Waterman cemetery). There you will see a person at the parade booth. Let them know that you are looking for float #92. They will inform you where to go.

What to wear:
The theme for this year's parade is "Oh, to be ten again". We want our kids to dress very "kidish" preferably old-style as they would in WW2 generation to 50's (could be princess dress-up, tom sawyer-style, cowboy/cowgirl, Indians, or similar type costume).

End of Parade:
The parade ends at Elk Grove High School. Everyone will need to be picked up there. We will arrive there between 11:00-12:00. You can judge the time by were we are in the lineup of the parade.

Important Note:
Make sure to wear sunscreen and bring bottled water. Most of the children will be walking alongside the float. The parade is approximately a 3-mile walk.

Happy Easter to All!!!

Awaiting our arrival was a multiple of exhibits and workshops. At 11am we were one of 7 teams that had come to compete in the Creative Ministries Competition.
After 4 hours of nervous talk and anxious minds we were announced as the winners of the GOLD metal and the People's Choice award, which includes a $50.00 gift certificate for any of their products.

Thank you to all who attended and represented our team and our church! You all are the greatest kids ever and we're excited to see what the future has in store!!! Lots of fun and many memories!!
