Aloha Ohana,
We are three weeks away from the 20th Annual Honolulu LGBT Pride Parade and Celebration (June 5th). This promises to be the most dynamic and exciting Pride experience in Honolulu's history.
Things are coming along smoothly and we are getting more excited as each day passes. I know that we are not the only one's that are excited as we already received our Proclamation from the City and County of Honolulu declaring June 5th as "Justice Means Equality – Ha'aheo" Honolulu LGBT Pride Parade Day. We hope that you are just excited about this year's activities! (See community listing below)
We do have a lot to Celebrate! this year so we hope that you will join us for a fun filled day!
The Honolulu LGBT Pride Parade will start promptly at 10 AM from Magic Island on June 5th.
We can not do this alone so we are looking for volunteers to help with the parade:
5 – People for the Color Guard – Ideally LGBT military affiliated (either retired or ex-military – it is beyond time to repeal DADT!)
4 – Banner holders (Parade & organizational Grand Marshal banner)
6 – Parade Monitors
If you would like to help out, please let us know which position you are most interested in.
Remember we have space for everyone that wants to be in your Parade. We are including the Parade application in this e-mail, please fill it out and mail, e-mail or fax it back to us.
Yes the "Dykes on Bikes" will kick off the parade as they have for the last 19 years. This year we are also inviting everyone that rides a motorcycle to join them!
We are also putting together a couples/family marching unit. So we are calling all couples and families to march with our couple Grand Marshal. And yes we will be announcing all the 2010 Grand Marshals shortly.
Following the Parade we will have the FREE Celebration in Kapiolani Park.
At the celebration we will have local LGBT Groups, Allies, Food Vendors, Keiki Area (yes we will have bouncy houses), Crafters, and great Live Entertainment! For a complete listing check us out on Facebook or our website www.honoluluprideparade.org
Booths at the Celebration start at only $25.00 for non-profits and social groups! This just in - we are offering the $45 booths to local (Made in Hawaii) businesses as part of our support local business initiative.
We are asking for your help by forwarding this message to your list ;-)
Mahalo for your support and please do not hesitate in contacting us with any questions or concerns!
