Kiwanis puts remembrance In Memorial Day
Memorial Day will soon be here. The Westlake Kiwanis Club hopes you are planning to participate in our annual community parade and service that day, May 30.
Come out and line the parade route along Hilliard Boulevard and enjoy the parade, which starts at 10 a.m. in front of Sts. Peter and George Coptic and Orthodox Church and ends in Clague Park at the Gazebo for the Memorial Day services.
The parade and service will honor those civilians and military that sacrificed so much to preserve our freedoms and protect our shores – many of those fallen were members of our Westlake community. If you participated in the parade or in the services in Clague Park last year, the Westlake Kiwanis and the community appreciate your participation and hope you will take part again this year.
Please make sure to attend the services at the Gazebo; don't let those who gave so much be forgotten.
If you missed this fun and moving event in the past, we hope you will join us this year. There is plenty of room for various groups of marchers and floats. If you wish to participate in this year's parade and or service, call Rick Grane at 440-829-0974, rickgrane@aol.com.
