For those of you who will be marching in the Cherry Royale Parade on behalf of NMC, here are a few handy reminders:

  • If you pre-ordered your t-shirts they are available today, July 13, in the Auxiliary Services office in West Hall until 5 p.m.  If you didn’t no pre-order but just realized the dog ate the one you had from last year there are a few extras.  First come first serve. There will also be any t-shirts available at the staging area.
  • We are # 106.  All of State Street is the staging area, and Kay Hall will be in the NMC spot starting at 8 am.
  • Remember vehicles must be in line by 10 am and walkers no later then 10:30.  We will have coffee and a small continental breakfast at the beginning of the parade and a picnic at the end of the parade.
  • The weather will be stellar.  Mid 80’s with a light wind.  Bring your sunscreen.  We will have ice cold water for the parade route.
  • We will be exiting off Union onto 13th street to the lot on the right across from Thirlby field.  There we can rest and have a picnic!
  • If you have hand outs, once again they must be handed out not thrown.

 This event is possible because of the support from President Tim Nelson and the staff and faculty at NMC.  Thank you all.
