January: Forming up two committees and looking for committee members. We'll form a route subcommitee to deal with the final parade route formation and parading logistics. We'll also form a committee to deal with all of the other soft features of the parade event such as the Theme. These two committees will meet bi-weekly to track the overall picture, subcommittees can meet or use emails to communicate. 

January: Draft parade route option maps for review.

January: Member Clubs to identify their Fleet Captains.
