– The Parade is rain or shine
– Procession from Monroe Park begins at 7 PM Sharp

-ALWAYS BE CONSCIOUS AND AWARE OF YOURSELF AND CONSIDERATE OF THOSE AROUND YOU.
Dress up in a costume, make your own giant puppets or flags, and/or volunteer to assist with the giant puppets, flags, props and more!
Every year a funeral march is part of the parade!
*The 14th Annual Halloween Parade is also “A Funeral March for Life as We Wished It”!
We will mourn the burning amazon rainforest, parade against the break down of our planet, and celebrate all indigenous peoples, people of color, and trans and queer peoples. We will celebrate the death of Immigration & Customs Enforcement because the ICE is melting! We will reign in the aftermath of the ICE storm, in a lush sea of the Amazon, Pollinators, Skeletons, Extinction Rebellion, and much more! This year’s theme is based on the climate crisis and humanity crisis, specifically referencing the fact that scientists say humanity has a 50% chance of making it 81 more years.

OHNA Meeting Reminder
From email:
Dear Friends and Neighbors
Just a reminder for our meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at 7 at St Andrews Church. The meeting will include a presentation from the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay on ways we can help our beloved James River and other waterways in our state and to provide resources.
Also a reminder that on Saturday, November 9th starting at 9:30am, we will be planting 10 trees in neighborhood tree wells and need volunteers to help with the planting and initial watering in. Please let me know if you can help. Many hands make light and enjoyable work!
I will also ask the membership in attendance to authorize the association spending up to $200 for a remote digital weather station unit to donate to the science department at Open High to establish a long term record of meteorological information of the neighborhood in an effort to provide independent and sustainable data on climate change in our neighborhood and to serve the school as an educational tool.
The president of Open High Sophomore class also will make a short address on plans they are making to serve our community and make beneficial improvements.
