The start time will be at 9:00 am. We need as many members along with family to march and pass
out fliers for Beat The Heat, and to make a good showing. Its fun and good exercise. If you can
dress in a Flagstaff Flyer shirt and hat, or something patriotic. We would like one WWII fighter, a
WWI fighter, a 3D plane, a scale plane, and a glider or slope soarer for the float, as well as at least
one helicopter for the float.
