To Santa's Helpers,

On behalf of the Cambridge Family Early Years Centre I would just like to extend our thanks to you for putting together an amazing parade! We had an absolutely fabulous time and we were impressed by how well organized everything was.

Your instructions were clear and easy to follow and the parade was managed in a very safe and professional manner. We appreciated our opportunity to be part of the 2005 event!
