            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wayne’s Memorial Day Observance, Monday May 25th, 2026 – 11:00am on Main Street</strong></p>
<p>(RAIN plan: program will be at the Ladd Center at 11:30 a.m.) – PLEASE NOTE RAIN TIME </p>
<p>IF it is raining and the parade is cancelled, interested veterans will gather at 11:00 am, at the Memorial Stone on Main Street, to place the memorial wreath at the Memorial Stone. Veterans will then gather with all who wish to attend the program at the Ladd Center for the 11:30 program. </p>
<p>As we gather in Wayne to remember our fallen service men and women, we hope to see you on Main Street to enjoy the parade that starts at 11:00 am, and the program following in Memorial Park. There will be a roll call of Veterans attending, music, and a message from our speaker, Judy Jennings Danielson. Judy grew up in an Air Force family, spent much of her younger life in Wayne, resides in Wayne now with husband Chuck and the Jennings family roots in Wayne go back for many generations.   </p>
<p>The Memorial Day committee extends a warm invitation to all veterans to join the parade. We have cars needing riders, or you may choose to march.  You are important to us; this gathering also honors our Veterans and we hope you can attend.   We enthusiastically invite musicians, boys, girls, teams, scouts, and anyone with a focus on honoring those who died to protect our freedoms to march in the parade.  </p>
<p>If you plan to drive a vintage car in the parade, please contact Tom Fylstra (207-242-4112) or Rick Parker (692-3039) by 5/20—we need you to register for a place in the parade. We will ask you to line up on Old Winthrop Road, not in the church parking lot, unless transporting a vet. </p>
<p>10:30-10:45a.m. - All participants gather &amp; assemble at Wayne Community Church parking lot.  PLEASE ARRIVE NO LATER THAN 10:45, PREFERABLY AT 10:30 so that all marchers can be organized in marching order-Thank You! </p>
<p>11:00 a.m. – Parade will start from the church parking lot and proceed to Main Street.   </p>
<p>The parade will continue along Main Street to Pond Road where it will turn around and when reaching the Memorial Stone on Pocasset Lake, will stop briefly to lay a memorial wreath, then proceed to Memorial Park to continue our program.  </p>
<p>If any Veteran would like a ride in the parade, or if you are interested in giving a ride to a Vet, please contact Rick Parker, 692-3039.  Earlier contact is helpful. </p>
<p>Remember to display your flag, put up your bunting, and we hope to see you and your family at this town gathering.  </p>
<p>Wayne Memorial Day Committee: Don Welsh, Doug Stevenson, Holly Stevenson, Rick Parker, Craig Young, Tom Fylstra and Tom Barden.   Please call with any questions: Holly Stevenson, 685-9005.</p>]]></content:encoded>
