Please arrive by 11:00 am (allow time for parking). The parade begins at noon. Come prepared for the weather. Paul & Sue Nauert cell phone: 314.401.1759.

MDA Summer Camp
We need helpers on Tuesday June 28th in the early evening. Our friends at Lowe's are coming out to bbq for us (and everything is donated as far as food goes) but we have no one to help serve the food. Usually we eat in the cafeteria with a full staff (and pay a lot of money) so having a bbq is great for us. We could just use some help serving & cleaning up after this meal. We have 60 kids and 70 volunteers who aren't really able to help in this way. Dinner is usually at 5:30 so we'd need volunteers out at Babler by 4:45 or 5pm. Anyone who is interested can call or email me and I'd be happy to talk with them. Thanks so much!
