The Rosedale Fun Litter Pickup Club was honored to participate for the first time ever in North Rosedale Park's 93rd annual June Day Parade on June 10, 2023. More than 20 members -- of all ages -- took part in our contingent. I believe it's fair to say that we made a big sensation with our neon vests, expertly crafted homemade banner, and exquisite play list transmitted from a wagon-drawn boombox that urged "people we need your help, we can't do this by ourselves". FLPC members sang and danced along with the catchy tunes, with litter grabbers serving as erstwhile batons. Some participants could be seen hustle dancing along with the music. Several members handed out cards to spectators encouraging participation in our group's efforts. One of our members noted that this was the most fun they'd ever had as a Fun Litter Pickup Club member, a sentiment shared by many. So, when is a parade is more than a parade? When it's a ton of fun, brings out the best in its participants, and when it galvanizes community action!!
