The hilarious pioneers who still are helping 27 years later in DisOrganizing the Annual Doo Dah Parade are Dianne Kiener, Sharon Young, Gregory Carr, Joseph Thiebert, Douglas Ritchey, Bill Finzel, Bill Kiener and Bob Wicks.Reaction from Hilarious Madame President of the "Original" UnOrganizers was "I hate that parade. I keep waiting for something to happen". We'll give the money to the Friends of Doo Dah so they can put it towards paying for the 27th Annual Doo Dah Parade. (see attached if you want to donate too).Besides Officer Steve Smith, see who else (in a more serious manner) was awarded the title of Unsung Hero and find out about the Gala on http://shortnorth.org/.

In Memory 2012Our Fallen Troops Don Ruben, Esq.Annie Hall Dave DunkelDiane Kiecy Todd OhlerJim SkillmanJimbo Podvin For Immediate Release:PRESS RELEASECongratulations to Doo Dah "Original" UnOrganizers, who was so DisOrganized 17 years ago that they had to become the Doo Dah DisOrganizers, for winning the "Best In Show" stipend from the Short North Business Association's Unsung Hero Awards. The hilarious pioneers who still are helping 27 years later in DisOrganizing the Annual Doo Dah Parade are Dianne Kiener, Sharon Young, Gregory Carr, Joseph Thiebert, Douglas Ritchey, Bill Finzel, Bill Kiener and Bob Wicks.Reaction from Hilarious Madame President of the "Original" UnOrganizers was "I hate that parade. I keep waiting for something to happen". We'll give the money to the Friends of Doo Dah so they can put it towards paying for the 27th Annual Doo Dah Parade. (see attached if you want to donate too).Besides Officer Steve Smith, see who else (in a more serious manner) was awarded the title of Unsung Hero and find out about the Gala on http://shortnorth.org/.
