If you want to help us promote CPT in this way, you'll need to have one of our yellow CPT t-shirts. If you need to order a t-shirt, call David Lazear with your desired size and we'll get those to you in time for the parade.

We have a great after-the-parade party planned which will again be held in Sy Greenblatt's building, near where the parade ends. Plan to join us for this celebration! More on this in next month's CPT Herald.
