Houston Democrats

IDEA:   You may consider dropping your car off at the disassembly area at the end of the parade route (Lovett & Montrose).  We will be tired after walking!

NOTE:   There will be no place on the float for riders, so all participants must walk the parade route.

Show Your Pride!  The nationally acclaimed Houston Gay Pride Parade is right around the corner.  HCDP is planning a wonderful entry for this fun NIGHT parade! We need volunteers and resources to make this years entry extra special. HCDP will have a walking entry so all Democratic clubs are encouraged to bring their banners, wear their club t-shirts and glow-in-the-dark necklaces, and have a great time. Our entry will be led by energetic cheerleaders in keeping with the parade them of "Say It Out Loud" and followed by a decorated pick-up truck. Our cheerleaders will lead cheers along the route and we'll be throwing Pride Parade approved items to the assembled throng.

We need your help and valuable ideas to make this year's entry a rousing success. If you can help, please contact Marianna Cline, Montrose Area Democrats, at mcline1227@aol.com or (713) 203-7659.  If your club plans to participate, please RSVP to Marianna.  If each of the 40+ clubs sent 3 members to march in the parade, the HCDP entry would include over 120 Democrats!

Immediate needs include:

• Portable generators
• Large pick up truck
• Cheerleaders- no experience required but for those of you wishing to re-live the glory days, here's your shot.
• Bull horns or megaphones
• Great cheer ideas
  

Bring Mardi Gras beads to throw.   Many thanks to ROADWOMEN for sponsoring the HCDP entry and Montrose Area Democrats and Max Beauregard for sponsoring the float.
