October Monthly General Meeting:
Join us at 1200 hours (noon if you’ve been out a while.) at Dillon's Restaurant,
20585 North 59th Ave, Glendale, AZ 85308-6821
(Left-click address, above, for a Google map to Dillon's.)
Come at 1100 for time to "socialize."
Roadwork will require lane restrictions and full closures on Loop 101, the interchange ramps and cross streets
between 75th Avenue to I-17. Work will occur primarily during overnight hours and weekends to minimize traffic
impacts, thus may affect travel time to future meetings at Dillon's starting September 27, 2024.
Although there is presently no closure scheduled for our next meeting on October 12, you can check
the current status on the ADOT website
HERE.
You can also view the live Loop 101 cameras on the AZ511 website

Phoenix Veterans Day Parade:
The 28th Annual Phoenix Veterans Day Parade presented by the non-profit Honoring America’s Veterans (HAV)
on November 11th, 2024 at 11AM.
This year's Celebrity Grand Marshal will be Baseball Legend Luis Gonzalez.
Organizers anticipate 45,000 spectators along the parade route. Seven Veteran Grand Marshals,
will represent each era of military service from World War II to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The parade starts at Montebello and Central runs southbound, then turns East on Camelback
Road, and then turns South on 7th Street and de-stages at Indian School Road.
As in previous years, we plan to stage the USS Phoenix and the "People Trailer" in the
rear parking lot of the Firestone Tire Store at the south-east corner of Osborn and 3rd Avenue at 8:00 a.m.
241 W Osborn Rd Phoenix, AZ 85013-3942
(Left-click address, above, for a Google map to the Firestone Tire Store staging area.)
We will then load up and ride to the North Phoenix Baptist Church where the parade starts.
5757 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85012
(Left-click address, above, for a Google map to the North Phoenix Baptist Church.)
We expect to be lined up between 9:30 and 10:00 AM and the parade will roll at 11:00 AM.
Don't forget to bring your folding chairs for the "people trailer."
If someone drops you off at the church and you need help finding
the USS Phoenix, there will be several red tents that have parade organizers (and porta-potties)
located within the church parking lot.
