Syracuse is this Sat. Bus will be picking everyone up at Oakdale Mall near Sears, The bus will be there at 9:45 and will leave for Syracuse at 10:00.

If you are driving and want to follow the bus please feel free to do so!! The Parade in Syracuse is starting at 12:00, noon! We are to step off at
"1:00 ish" from the corner of Erie Blvd. West and Plum Street, we are in "Munster Division." We are #9 to step off.

At the end of the parade route I suggest that we should stand to the side of the curb, wait, and cheer on the BC Celtic Pipes and Drums who are #13 and Binghamton's Maloney Pipe & Drums who are #21 behind us.

The bus will then take those who wish to go to up Tipperary Hill to a couple of Irish pubs for about and and hour and a half. Remember to get your picture taken under the street light!!! It is the only place in this country where the street light is upside down, with the green at the top. The bus will then return us back downtown for some merriment and fun......

You need to be BACK ON THE BUS BY 8:15 so we can check names and make sure everyone is there. The bus will LEAVE SYRACUSE PROMPTLY at 8:30 PM.
