Fun Activity!

Join the Rockin’ RSVP Drill Team

Our partner organization, the Macalester-Groveland Living at Home Program, has invited RSVP to create a drill team to march with them in the Grand Old Day Parade on June 5, 2011.

We want to create a fun, attention-getting drill team that reflects the vitality of older adult volunteers and promotes the work of Living at Home programs, which help older adults stay independent at home, and RSVP volunteers, who help the community in so many different ways.

March with us -- Help plan our routine -- Create our prop rockers—Name our group

We need 15 marchers—plus backups and support people.

Please call 952-945-4162 or email jkoschak@voamn.org

The drill team will start organizing by the end of March.

The Parade is 10 AM on June 5, along Grand Avenue, from Fairview to Dale.
