Garland Labor Day Parade

September 5, 2005

Once again, Troop 57 participated in the City of Garland's annual Labor Day parade, one of the largest in the nation. This year we also canvassed the crowd, collecting donations to be given in support of the relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. We collected about $300, which was then given to the Salvation Army as a continuation of our support of their efforts.

Troop 57 would like to thank Mr. Alvin Rauschhuber for once again donating his time, his trailer, his truck, and his fuel to us for the parade.
