    Hi All!

    If you haven’t heard already, we are participating in the Alameda 4th of July Parade on Friday and are inviting all of you to join us! Fosters and volunteers- everyone!

    The details:
    • Confirm with me today (tomorrow morning at the latest) that you are interested in walking!
    • Kids welcome and encouraged! You must walk with your kids if they come, but we know they are part of the Hopalong family!
    • You will meet the See Spot Run contingent at about 9:45 in Alameda near Park and Lincoln- I’ll give you exact location.
    • The walk is about 3 miles, but if you know Alameda, you know it’s flat, and the parade doesn’t move too quickly.
    • Wear a Hopalong shirt (we’ll give you one if you don’t have one), smile, wave, and show off!


    You’ll be done by noon, so you’ll have plenty of time to go catch your picnic, fireworks and other patriotic activities!

    Again, please email me ASAP if you’re interested in participating. We’re looking for at least 10 people to walk with us, and I want to make sure I get you all the details you’ll need!


    Thanks everyone, and have a safe and happy holiday!
