ATTENTION MOTOR VEHICLES – Do Not Violate California Vehicle Codes. No dangerous stunts are allowed. Safety of our spectators is our foremost concern.
FOR EVERYONE’S SAFETY – Do not throw souvenirs or candy from vehicles. You may walk and hand out candy or souvenirs if
you wish…just think safety when you do. Thank you for your cooperation!!
DO NOT FORGET – The Family Community Church will offer a Pancake Breakfast from 8 AM to 10 AM (Donations Accepted!!).

What is the Ladies Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in the greater Sacramento, California region?
The LAVFW is for the Mothers, Wives, Daughters and Granddaughters of Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The members of the LAVFW are responsible for many community service and patriotic events. Some of the things the members of the LAVFW help with are with Cancer research, Buddy Poppies, Veterans hospitals, The National Childrens home, sending care packages to our troops and caring for families of Veterans. Members of the LAVFW also go to local schools to bring knowledge of what it means to enjoy freedoms we take for granted and to honor those who gave their lives so that we may live free. Honoring the dead by helping the living. There are scholarship programs available for students to enter by writing essays.
