The City of San Mateo would greatly appreciate your consideration in your organization joining us for the 40th Anniversary of the adoption of ACompany, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division this Memorial Day weekend. A parade will be taking place on Sunday, May 27th at 11am in Downtown San Mateo. San Mateo adopted Alpha Company of the 101st Airborne Division during the Vietnam War. Our city was the first to extend a heartfelt, thankful recognition to these soldiers when they returned from Vietnam and we have maintained a relationship with this division of soldiers ever since supporting them in both peacetime and through every engagement since Vietnam. This Memorial Day, San Mateo has invited this troop back to San Mateo, including soldiers from the first recognition event, with plans to honor them, as the city did in 1972, with a whole weekend of events including in a parade followed by a BBQ, dinner banquet, and more! The Army is partneringwith the city on this celebration and is planning on flying out troops from Ft. Campbell, Kentucky to be recognized and participate in the weekend anniversary events. Our Pack will be marching in the parade. Please sign up to indicate if your Scout will be able to take part with his name and Den number in the comments. This will be a full uniform event!

This will consist of a 3 mile ranger-guided hike to see the breeding elephant seals and museum visit just south of Half Moon Bay. This is an amazing event for Webelos to get their naturalist badge and all families to get together for family fun. If the weather is nice, folks may want to get there around noon and have a picnic.Bring your binoculars if you have some.

We have three groups of 20 persons at hiking times 1:15, 1:45 and 2:15.   Driving time from Foster City is approximately 1 ½-2  hours.   We must be there 15 minutes before the hike, so I suggest we should all be there by 1 PM and divide into groups.
