East Boston Columbus Day Parade
Committee Holds Jail Day
On Friday September 19, 2008 volunteers from East Boston held a
Jail Day fundraiser.
East Boston, MA, 23-Sep-2008
— Volunteers from the East Boston Columbus Day
Parade Committee, along with officers from the Suffolk County Sheriffs
Department and Boston Police rounded up local residents and merchants
to raise funds for this years’ Columbus Day Parade. Offenders were
accused of smiling, cleaning up the streets and being good neighbors.
Officers brought offenders to the Central Square Jail where they were
held until paying bail. Generous residents and merchants were good
sports and the committee raised much needed funds.
This years Columbus Day Parade
Parade will step off from Orient Heights at 1 PM on Sunday October
12th, travel down Bennington Street to Chelsea Street to Maverick
Square and turn down Meridian Street into Central Square. Marching
bands from all over New England, Military and Civic groups will make
this year's parade special. Chief Marshall retired Boston Police
officer and Vietnam veteran Joseph Favale, along with Civic Chairman
Joe Ruggeiro and Parade Chairman Buddy Mangini, are asking for your
help. If you would like to donate to the parade or attend one of the
pre-parade events contact Joe at 617.590.3035.
