What a wonderful day, God Bless America, and God Bless all that serve those in need! The Annual Northville 4th of July Parade, 2024 Version is in the books! 4 of our 6 Michigan Caravans were represented! Thanks to Barcelona Caravan, Galicia Caravan #77 - Order of Alhambra, Sancho Caravan - International Order of Alhambra and of course Manresa  Caravan 217. We had around 30 Parade walkers and drivers handing out candy and American Flags, and as always our amazing magician SN Bill Brang baffled the crowd with his plethora of tricks! A wonderful Region VI Family Oasis followed at the Cass Benton Pavilion in Hines Park. Thanks so much for our Illustrious Supreme Director Russ Smith for stopping by to join in the fun and to share a few supporting words to all who were there. We look forward to next year and the continued growth of this event! As always, God Bless the Alhambra, and all those who serve those in need!   A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU to our Grand Scribe SN Ron Budzisz and VGC Chris Scanlan and his wife LN Laura for the EXTRAORDINARY efforts they put in to make this event such a success. They are true treasures. I love you guys! Thanks on behalf of all of us who enjoyed this special day! Contributing photographers Grand Commander John Michniak and Historiographer Norm Pranger
