    Founders Day Parade

    How Michelle McGurk organized the popular event in one month


    When faced with the daunting task of putting together a parade in time for this Founders Day, Michelle McGurk, chief of staff for Councilman Frank Fiscalini, handled herself with aplomb. Within just a month, she has ensured the parade's success. She even cajoled Mayor Ron Gonzales into walking in the parade with Fiscalini--right behind the San Jose Police Department's mounted unit. In an attempt to uncover the steps involved in planning a perfect parade, the Willow Glen Resident has undertaken a major investigative effort, which involved speaking with experts in the field of parade perfection. The result is an easy-to-follow question-and-answer guide for those who think they may want to undertake such an ambitious endeavor in the future.   More
