6th Annual Northeast Los Angeles Veterans Day Parade
Sunday, November 13, 2011 @ 1:00 P.M.
“ An Eagle Rock Centennial Event”

Dear Community Supporter,

It is sometimes said that the highest sacrifice a citizen can give in the service of flag and country, is his, or her life. Still, such an expression of patriotism, regardless of its worthy appeal to national honor, surely could feel hollow to one who has suffered the loss of a son, daughter, or other loved one in the service of country. That is why in these times of war, Veterans Day becomes far more meaningful. It is now more important than at any other time for we Americans to show our gratitude to those who have served and to remember those who gave the greatest sacrifice in the service of our nation.

Our 6th Annual Northeast Los Angeles Veterans Day Parade is Sunday, November 13, 2011. We are anticipating a bigger crowd than ever at this year's Parade, as we are collaborating with the Eagle Rock Centennial Celebration. We are planning for an even larger parade, larger and more festive crowds. Therefore we are planning for a larger program booklet to accompany what has become a signature annual event, of our vibrant Northeast community, to include a wider array of business leaders.

Signature individuals and organizations in both the public and private sector have come together to make the Northeast Veterans Day Parade possible. We have attracted important businesses in the Northeast, including Chevron, Inc., Citi Bank, Mia Sushi, Harnsberger Real Estate, LTC Home Health Care Services, Rey Crest Roofing Company, Celina Income Tax, S&L Management, Inc., Ruperto Domingo Law Offices, Mitchell Printing & Publishing, M.A.N. Insurance, DeVera Air Conditioning Company, Yogurt Haven, La Morenita, Patra's Burgers, as well as such auspicious sponsors as the Office of Councilmember Jose Huizar, community organizations like the Anahuak Soccer Association, Kiwanis Club of Greater Highland Park, the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council, the Glassell Park Neighborhood Council and the Eagle Rock Chamber of Commerce, Solheim Lutheran Home, the Office of State Senator Carol Liu, Congress Representative Xavier Becerra, Assemblymember Anthony Portantino, Boulevard Sentinel, the Friends of the Southwest Museum Coalition and the Friends of Hermon Dog Park.

We are approaching businesses that have a significant profile in our community to sponsor an advertisement in our, 32 page program booklet (8.5 X 11 page size). We would like to invite your esteemed corp./company to take out an ad to help support our local veterans. Attached is the sponsor agreement, please check off the level that best suits you and return with your payment today!

Checks payable to: NELA Veterans Parade, 3811 Verdugo Road, Los Angeles 90065
