The following is some Woodrow news we are passing on from an email Dinah received. If you have never been to the Lakewood Parade, it is lots of fun. Read on:
The 4th of July serves as an informal reunion for Wildcats. From the parade route to the kegs at Tokalon Park to the fireworks later at Lakewood Country Club you are bound to run into old friends and you will also make some new ones. See: http://www.lakewoodparade.com
The official unofficial fireworks watching site for Wildcats is Country Club Circle - so come a bit before dusk if you want to circulate - way before dusk if you want a parking spot.
While we are celebrating our independence let's also be proud of our Wildcats this year - some selected accomplishments:
