Doo Dah Kudos
The Friends of Doo Dah want to take a quick minute of your time.  That's to thank The Financiers, Volunteers, Marchers, Watchers, Photographers, and Media Mahem for making the 25th Annual Doo Dah Parade and After Doo Dah Block Party a big o' whopping success.  Thank You!
Personalized letters will be forthcoming to those who paid for the zany citizens of our open-minded city to march and play in the streets while expressing their 1st Amendment through humor.  We hope that you enjoyed the Doo Dah Parade, and we hope that Doo Dah is good for you year-round! 
Our next big ta-do activity is www.UrbanCroquet.com on Sunday, October 5th, 2008. 
Again, thanks and Love from the Land of Doo Dah,
Mz Doo Dah, ChairChick & the Dazzling Doo Dah DisOrganizers
