Mike engineered the framework that put the Peace Train on wheels in the 2013 Montrose Christmas Parade.
Roberta sent out an e-mail to launch Montrose Peace Vigil's 12th consecutive entry of our Peace Train in the Montrose Christmas Parade on December 2. If you didn't get one, I've copied it here:
Dear Peace friends,
This is to invite you to get on board the Peace Train for our 12th year in the Montrose Christmas Parade (montrosechristmasparade.com), on Saturday evening, December 2nd, 2023.
There will be the usual hearty refreshments starting at 3:30pm at my home on Sycamore Avenue, very near the start of the parade, or you can come find The Peace Train on Honolulu Avenue, west of Rosemont/Roselawn Avenue, after 5pm when the parade lines up to step off at 6:00pm.
The Peace Train is a wildly popular part of this hometown event viewed by thousands, and now more than ever our goal is a big turnout for the cause of peace. I welcome any questions, and will be thrilled if you let me know you will join us.
Montrose Peace Vigil long-sleeved shirts are still available (perfect on parade night over layers), for $20.00 each OBO. If interested let me know and your size(s).
We hope you can join us and that you mark your calendars now. And feel free to invite your peacenik family and friends!
Love,
Roberta
P.S. Your presence is the best and also appreciated are donations of any amount for our “Silver” ($1000.00) sponsorship, which promotes peace on parade publicity, and helps support the parade. Ask me ASAP for more info, particularly if you’re interested in the tax deduction.
