SUMMARY:DC 4.Juli Parade
DESCRIPTION:The Washington\, DC German Language Meetup Group\n\nIt is once 
 again time to show your American and German pride at the same time! Walk in
  the DC Independence Day Parade along with fellow German speakers and celeb
 rate the 4. Juli in style. \n\nHere are some details for the day of the 4th
 :\n\nI have registered our group under the name "German Meetup" - if you ca
 nnot find me upon arrival you can text me (I will send out phone number to 
 all who have RSVPed) or simply go to the registration tent and they will le
 t you know what we will be carrying (I haven't made final assignments yet\,
  so I don't even know!)\n\nThis year I have been told that there will not b
 e a security perimeter around the National Mall as in previous years.  It i
 s possible that this will change\, and if I am told otherwise before the 4t
 h I will contact you.  We will all meet at the registration tent on the Nat
 ional Mall on 7th Street NW (the street located between the Hirschorn and t
 he Air & Space Museums).  We should be the only tent set up\, but if you ca
 n't find us just proceed to the area where the balloon are being filled.  A
 ll volunteers should arrive by 9am - we need you this early so that we can 
 make sure all of the balloons are filled in time (we may even have some peo
 ple who are not scheduled for balloons assist in this duty.)  Please check 
 in immediately upon arrival.  The parade begins at 11:45am\, and depending 
 on where you are within the parade lineup you will be free to leave between
  12:30 and 2:00pm\, as soon as your props (flags/balloons) are stowed away 
 properly at the end of the parade.\n\nChances are that it will be VERY hot 
 on the 4th of July.  Please bring enough water to keep you hydrated for the
  duration of the parade.  This includes the time you arrive (while props ar
 e being distributed\, balloons are being filled\, etc...) until you are at 
 the end of the parade route.   Dress for the weather in comfortable clothes
  (no dress code – we will provide a parade T-shirt) and wear comfortable sh
 oes.  Don't forget sun block\, sunglasses\, and hats. \n \nMany streets are
  blocked during the 4th and parking is scarce\, so we ask everyone to take 
 Metro to L'Enfant Plaza.   The closest exit from the station is the "7th St
 reet/ Maryland Ave./ Smithsonian Museums exit."  Walk north to the entrance
  to the National Mall at the corner of 7th Street and Independence Avenue\,
  NW.  Continue straight on 7th Street until you see our registration tent o
 n the left side of the street.\n \nEven though there will be no security ch
 eckpoint\, all coolers\, backpacks\, packages and individuals will be subje
 ct to inspection.   Please bring identification with you incase you are cho
 sen for a random security inspection.  We will not have an area to keep per
 sonal items during the parade\, so please don't bring many things along wit
 h you unless you have people who can hold them during the parade.  You will
  need both hands to carry balloons and flags!\n \nProhibited Items on the M
 all include:  glass bottles\, firearms and other weapons\, fireworks\, alco
 holic beverages\, personal grills\, barbeques\, and other open flames\, can
 opies or tents.  \n   \nIf you have any additional questions\, please let m
 e know.  If your availability changes\, please let me know as soon as possi
 ble.  \n \nThanks and I look forward to seeing you all on the 4th\,\nKaela
