Old Soldiers' Day

Alpharetta Rotary participated in this Alpharetta tradition by supporting the American Legion with a float we built to participate in the parade recognizing and celebrating armed forces veterans. Members built the float on a Thursday night, and finished the building early Saturday morning. Members rode on the float, which played patriotic music, and threw candy to children along the route. We had a retired service member from the American Legion on the float as our honoree. We finished the day with a picnic at the park where the parade ends. Alpharetta Rotary took first prize in the parade, a tribute to the work we did, and the awareness we raised for our veterans.
