Dear Sirs:

Good Morning. The Calvary Baptist Church Sunday School would like to apply for
a permit to hold a "circus Parade". The parade will be for the promotion of
our Sunday School.
We would like to hold our parade on Saturday, March 3, 1973. It will begin
about 1:00 P.M. at our church parking lot.
Our boundary limits for our parade will be Humboldt Street to the north, Lindsay
Street to the south, Cottage Grove Street to the east, and Sancome Street to the
west of our church. As you can see, it will not involve any major thoroughfare
or street; it is strictly a "community parade". We would appreciate a police
escort if that would be possible.
We will greatly appreciate your consideration in this matter. Thank you very
much.
Sincerely Yours,
s/ Ernest R. Goforth, Jr., Superintendent
