While the CSB is busy getting ready for and looking forward to the celebration of our 100th anniversary over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend we have one just as important event coming up this weekend. It will be our privilege to travel this weekend to Moline, IL/Davenport, IA two of the four cities we lovingly refer to as the Quad Cities here in the Midwest. We could play a trivia game to see if anyone knows the other two cities... but I'm not that fun of a guy. So, I'll just tell you that the other two cities that cluster around the banks of the Mississippi River are Bettendorf, IA and Rock Island, IL. In reality, there are five cities that also includes East Moline, IL. Five cities make up the Quad Cities? Why not? After all, there are eleven schools in the Big Ten...
But enough of the geography lesson already!
We'll depart early on Saturday morning so that we can arrive in time to march in the Festival of Trees Parade that kicks off in Davenport at 11:00 am. Then on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 pm we'll do a Christmas Kick-Off Concert in the Mississippi River Room at River Center Complex. Three caroling teams from the band will be on duty at kettle stands at the i wireless Center from 6:00 pm until 7:00 pm as patrons gather for the Holiday Pops concert. Then on Sunday morning at 10:30 am we'll participate in a worship service at the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center in Davenport.
All of these events including the worship service are open to the public. If you're able to be there, we'd like to see you. Be sure to stop by and say hello!
I'll have more to report next week after our visit.
