If you're home Monday, you might want to take a look at the Labor Day Parade that our neighbors to the south put on every year. Click here for details.
I find it impressive that their parade committee raised $19,475 in donations to support the event.
Plainfield is supposed to have an Independence Day Committee to work on the July 4th events, but no one has ever been appointed to it. It took many months of inquiry before the Recreation Division answered Councilwoman Rebecca Williams with details of the costs for Plainfield's largest celebration.
South Plainfield's business administrator/CFO is still helping Plainfield muddle through since February 2012 without our own chief financial officer. Maybe he can get the city a tip sheet on how to organize a parade and account for costs, before he is replaced in 2014.
If you can't get to the parade, at least you can sing a few verses of "Solidarity Forever," especially if you have this CD by a group that features two Plainfielders.
