A brief message from our Senior Center Director on "Getting into the Act" with Older Americans Month and Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony!
Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony
In recognition of Memorial Day, the Patriotic Observance Committee respectfully requests the attendance of you and members of your family or organization to join us on Monday, Memorial Day, May 25, 2015, as we honor all who have bravely served in the United States Armed Forces. The parade will form at 10:00 am on Monday, May 25th, on the west side of the Center Common (Osgood & Andover St.). The parade will then go right onto Mass. Ave. and then head left onto Salem Street with the Parade ending at the Ridgewood Cemetery for the ceremony. Upon completion of our Memorial Ceremony, the Parade will reform and proceed back to the Center Common and disperse from there. A small contingency will form at V.F.W. Post 2104 on Park Street for the ceremonial Flag Raising and reception. In the event of inclement weather, our services will be held in the Middle School Veteran’s Auditorium at 10:30 am.
