To DYO players and families,

Last year, DYO missed the gaming grant and this limited our program activities. In order to promote the DYO to the community, we are going to participate in the Ladner May Days Parade. This is a chance for us let the local people and businesses know about us, and to show our appreciation for their long time support. It is also a chance for the players to join in community events.

The Ladner May Fair has been held since 1896, an event in British Columbia that attracts visitors from all over the province. The fair is held in Memorial Park, which is just across the street from the community centre. The parade route taken will be 1.5 miles across Ladner and finishes in Memorial Park.

The date of the fair and parade is Sunday, May 30^th, so please mark this date as we’d like as many people to participate as possible. Parents and siblings are welcome to join as well. For more information on the Ladner May Days Fair, you can check the site at http://www.ladnermaydays.com/index.html. Details will be provided later on.

We hope to see you there!
