NEEDHAM EXCHANGE CLUB PLANNING FOR 2008 FOURTH OF JULY

The Exchange Club is hard at work planning for this year's Fourth of July celebration. It is a process that began over a year ago and which involves coordinating the efforts of our 100 members and others. The effort is a 100% volunteer effort and is 100% funded by donations from the community.

This year's theme is "Go Fourth and Celebrate". All activities will fall on Friday, July 4th and will include the Grand Parade, 5K Road Race and a Craft Fair and Flea market to be held in the Sudbury Farms parking lot. In addition, we are very pleased to announce that Lieutenat Commander USN Sunita "Suni" Williams, Needham's very own astronaut, will be Parade Marshall for this year's Grand Parade.

There will not be fireworks this year due to a special field project at Memorial Park. We look forward to having a spectacular return of the fireworks in 2009.
