West Orange Saint Patrick’s Day Parade
West Orange St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Attention all members! You are needed to march!
The West Orange Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is on Sunday March 15, 2015. We have been invited as a department and a union to march as a group in this parade. This is a great family event. The parade starts at 12:00 and proceeds down Main Street in West Orange. After the parade there are a few parties at the end of the parade route that are family friendly and there are several bars and parties that are great fun for adults. A few years ago we marched as a department with our families in the Nutley Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. Everyone had a great time. I attached a picture of our group in this email. Please consider marching and you family is welcome to march with us. We need about 20 members minimum to march. If you are interested please contact Pat Cassidy or myself ASAP. Our contact information is below. Hope to see everyone on March 15th.
