A few days into December and here are some things to consider from a Lincoln High view -The December meeting of the Lincoln High Alumni Association was cancelled for the holidays by a membership vote on a motion at the last meeting (November). Hope to see you at the next meeting scheduled for January. Current membership dues are being accepted by mail, so check the Alumni Association link in the sidebar "Links to Visit" for that information or any other questions you may have on that topic.
The Lincoln Heights 2008 Christmas Parade will be coming to you this year on Sunday, December 14th, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. According to the Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council's 2008 Parade announcement. The parade route proceeds mainly on North Broadway, coming from the DMV office at Lincoln Park Avenue and Mission- and then heads "West" on North Broadway to Ave. 24- (which is so typical of L.A., heading "West" on a street that is called "North Broadway," changing to "South Broadway" when it gets to downtown at First St. or Temple).
Mr. Mark Shapiro, Lincoln High's veteran and absolutely veritable teacher, is the stated parade announcer who will be working his vocal magic again, with that same affable style he's demonstrated for years as the announcer at Lincoln's home football games. You can find him and hear his mellifluous tones emanating from the Griffin Avenue and North Broadway judging area.
I expect this parade to be a notably impressive presentation if I have read the Neighborhood Council's page correctly, where it says that they have been working on this since "January 2007." My reaction is "It better be something remarkable after putting in 2 years of work." But that could be a typo getting into their copy. I know so well that it can happen with the printed word. "Just when you think you're finished, oops." (see examples throughout this blog for proof.) The other clue to the typo angle is the the date mystery in the closing statement, "December 9 will indeed be a festive day in Lincoln Heights."
Here are a couple of photos from the 2008 Northeast Veteran's Day Parade in November that I thought I would add now.
