Dear Mr. Wollangk:
The residents of Laager Lane and 19th Avenue have planned our annual block party for Saturday, August 23, 2003.
This neighborhood event is scheduled to begin at 3:00 pm and in past years has ended just after sunset. Because of
the number of children on our streets and the events planned, it is our request to have the entrances to Laager Lane
on Knapp Street and Orchard Lane barricaded during the time of the party. As Laager Lane is not a major
thoroughfare we feel it would be much safer for the residents, espically the children, and not disrupt traffic flow.
If you have any questions please feel free to comact me at one of the above numbers.
Very truly yours /}/ ,/~
Mark E. Siwik
Dear Sir or Ma'am,
We would like to request your permission to have a block [hrty on
July 5, 2003. If it would be at all possible to have 1 street block blocked off
from 9:00am to 12:00 midnight on the above date, it would be just
wonderful. The 1 street block is Grove Street from Custer to Tennessee
(which is highlighted.)
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us -

American Legion Riders Association of Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Wollangk:
20 June 2003
The American Legion Riders Association of Wisconsin is a group of American
Legion members that are also motorcycle enthusiasts. The purpose of the "Legion Riders" is
to participate in ceremonies that are in keeping with the aims and purposes of the American
Legion. The "Legion Riders" have provided Color Guards and Service Flag Displays for
events in many cities across Wisconsin during the past several years, most recently in the
Oshkosh Miss Wisconsin parade and in the Appleton Flag Day parade. It has been both an
honor and a privilege to be allowed to perform these duties for the various events.
To show our appreciation for the men and women currently serving in our nation's
military services, the Legion Riders are requesting permission to hold another parade through
downtown Oshkosh. The parade will be "A Salute to Our Troops
The parade will be held on Sunday, September 7th, 2003 and will begin at 5:00 PM.
Assembly of participants would be scheduled to begin at approximately 3:30 PM. The staging
area would be in the area of Court Street south of Ceape St. and in the adjacent lots. The route
would be as follows: West on Otter Ave. to Main St. - North on Main St. to Irving Ave. -
East on Irving Ave. to Hazel St. - South on Hazel St. to Washington Ave. - East on
Washington Ave. to the American Legion. This is the same route that is used for the 4th of July
parade with the exception of the last few blocks leading to the American Legion.
Invitations would be open to all interested motorcyclists, many of whom would be
displaying patriotic flags. Also invited to attend will be active military and veteran
organization members from a number of groups. Invitations will be extended to the local
Police, Fire, and Sheriffs Departments as well. The parade would be limited to vehicular
traffic only, however, in order to facilitate the orderly movement of all participants.
The American Legion Riders Association would be honored to help provide an
opportunity for the citizens of Oshkosh to show their support of those men and women who
choose to proudly wear a military uniform of the United States of America.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Roy Helms - President
American Legion Riders Association of Wisconsin
