RPCVs needed to carry host country flags at the 38th annual Capitol Pride Parade
Join us in marching in the parade and carrying your host country's flag. There's only one for each country, so first come, first served.
If you have a particular flag you would like to carry, please email Sarah Blazucki with your name, phone and preferred country. There are 139 country flags (give or take), so it may be good to have a second choice. Please RSVP to sblazucki@peacecorps.gov by Monday, June 3 if you’d like to participate.
Here is the route of the parade through Dupont Circle and ending at 14th and U streets:

Peace Corps won the award for The Harvey Milk Award for Public Sector Contingent in 2011 and 2012. Can you help them do it in 2013?
