Guys and Gals, the news for the parade isn't good. I've been swapping emails and faxes with the Chairman of the parade all afternoon. It seems that they didn't get our faxed application, even though it was faxed twice. They said that our fax was the only one they didn't receive. When I didn't get notice of acceptance, I emailed and was told they hadn't received it. They allowed me to re-fax, even after the deadline. Ed Moran worked hard to get us in but we were denied, even after I gave them a copy of my fax log with their fax number clearly indicating it was sent a week prior to deadline. Below is a copy of his email.

CHARLES, BAD NEWS!
I WAS JUST INFORMED THE LINEUP HAS BEEN FINALIZED AND APPROVED.
THE GEORGIA FIERO CLUB WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2013 TO APPLY TO MARCH IN THE PARADE.
I AM SO SORRY FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING.
MOST SINCERELY AND WITH DEEPEST APOLOGIES.
ED
