June 5,1999 The Community Day theme this year is "Wet and Wild West Vancouver". The hours are 10:00am-4;00pm Our DISPLAY will be in the Senior's Activity Centre, in the Visual Arts room, with directional signs at the entrance. The Seniors' Centre is situated at the north-west comer of 21st Street and Marine Drive. The PARADE will leave Ambleside at 10:00 am, proceed along Marine Drive to 22nd Street, arriving at 12:00 noon when it turns up 22nd to disperse. It is expected that our entry for the PARADE will be Byron and Josie Briton in their Heritage Overland. Our BANNER will be proudly waving and we will be pleased to see you when the parade is over. We hope the weatherman gives us a warm, sunny day to enjoy the festivities and crafts - we would prefer the weather be more "Wild" than "Wet".
