As a result, local conference leadership was informed that a parade will be held on March 1 at 4:00pm to kick off this series. As a union event, it will be relying on all of the uniform Ministries of the NEC and GNYC with support from SNEC if possible, for this Atlantic Union Conference event. The Northeastern Conference Brigade of the Seventh-day Adventist Medical Cadet Corps is hereby placed on full alert for full participatory support in Class A uniform and honor guard.
The Parade will assemble at Brookville Park in Rosedale Queens. Brookville Park located on Brookville Blvd between South Conduit and 148th Avenue.
The Parade will commence from the Entrance of Brookville Park on the Corner of Brookville Blvd and 147 Avenue. The parade will then make its way by going West along 147th Avenue making a right on 225th Street, proceeding to and turning left onto 145th Road. It will proceed onto Farmers Blvd and then make a left on Farmers Blvd and after passing the intersection of Farmers Blvd and Guy Brewer Blvd, it will make a right onto 176th Street where CWC is located. The March Pass will immediately take place at the entrance of CWC.

FESTIVAL OF THE LAITY
AUC MCC DIVISION RESPONSE
Dear fellow cadets,
The MCC division of the Atlantic Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, is sponsoring its 2025 "Festival of Laity" convention in March at the Stamford Hilton Hotel. The administration is requesting the assistance of the AUC MCC Division, which is composed of the Southern New England, and the Northeastern Brigades, as well as elements of the Greater New York and Bermuda Detachments.
The purpose of MCC presence at this grand event will be to provide the logistics and management of the its public health and safety needs. This translates into crowd control, registration expertise, emergency medical response, emergency mental health and spiritual first aid care as well a general administrative logistical support. With participation expected to reach 1,000, there is a need for a fully staffed MCC Detail.
Cadets will be needed to work for six to eight hour shifts throughout the convention. Members of this AUC MCC Division Detail will be accommodated with food and shared rooming at the hotel at no cost to the cadet. Cadets volunteering for this assignment will be responsible for their own transportation.
It is expected that Cadets will be available three hours before the start of the convention and two hours after it concludes to receive the participants.
