‘We need 80-100 volunteers on July 4 to ensure that the parade and the fireworks show run smoothly,’ Sylvia Boyd said Monday night at the monthly meeting of PAPA, the Palisades Americanism Parade Association. Boyd is president of PAPA People, the group of volunteers who hold various important jobs throughout the Fourth, from helping with traffic control and serving as grandstand attendants to manning the gates at Palisades High for the evening concert and fireworks. ’As little as two or three hours of volunteer time can provide a big help,’ Boyd said. ‘People can volunteer at any point in the day, from 6 a.m. to midnight.’ She and her husband Jon will host just one training meeting at their home in Marquez Knolls on Thursday, June 3, at 7 p.m. To RSVP, or to volunteer on July 4 in some capacity, please call Sylvia at (310) 454-9556, or e-mail syljonboyd@aol.com.
