The parade starts off at the Miami Outboard Club Docks, winds around Hibiscus and Star islands and heads toward Downtown Miami through Government Cut before it passes Bayside Marketplace and makes its way back to the dub. The Holiday Boat Parade in Miami began with 15 boats about four years ago after a group of friends wanted to do something "for fun," Aldere- gufa said. It slowly began ezpaading every year.

Some of those memories were forged by your invitation to have members of our staff participate as judges in your annual boat parade. This was an exiting and memorable experience you chose to share with us. You also made it possible for some beautiful memories to be etched in some of our underprivileged children's lives that without your toy drive and caring efforts to provide a memorable experience with all kinds of treats and details they would not have had the joyful Christmas they had. We want to take this opportunity to thank you and all the personnel within your organization that made the making of these memories possible for our staff and our children. We at Centro Mater are committed to servicing our community with quality child care and education and as we are enabled by organizations like yours, we help these families minimize the hardships they face during these difficult times. Thank you for partnering witlkus in this worthy cause. May this year be full of success for your organization and joy for you and all your staff.
