If You'll be in DC and Plan to Watch the Inaugural Parade...

To all RPCVs interested in watching the inaugural parade in DC:

Upon further consideration, RPCVw has decided to move the Peace Corps Community's inaugural parade viewing location.

The new location will be on the north side of the intersection at 12th St. NW and Pennsylvania Avenue. 

The closest metro is Federal Triangle, however, according to the PIC, the fastest and most sanity-saving mode of transportation will be your own two feet.  The closest security checkpoint is at 12th St. NW and E St. 

We are still looking for volunteers willing to arrive early in the morning with homemade "Peace Corps" signs (no sticks and they can't be too large).  If you're interested, please contact communications@rpcvw.org.  Otherwise, please just show up at 12th and Pennsylvania wearing as much Peace Corps garb as you can muster and look for others doing the same.  The crowds are expected to be large and wait-times at checkpoints will probably be long, so you should plan to arrive well before the parade's estimated start time of 2:30pm. 

Thank you for supporting the RPCVw and NPCA's efforts to represent Peace Corps in the parade honoring the inauguration of Barack Obama.  See you on Tuesday!
