For Immediate Release:
PRESS RELEASE
Congratulations to Doo Dah "Original" UnOrganizers, who was so DisOrganized 17 years ago that they had to become the Doo Dah DisOrganizers, for winning the "Best In Show" stipend from the Short North Business Association's Unsung Hero Awards.  The hilarious pioneers who still are helping 27 years later in DisOrganizing the Annual Doo Dah Parade are Dianne Kiener, Sharon Young, Gregory Carr, Joseph Thiebert, Douglas Ritchey, Bill Finzel, Bill Kiener and Bob Wicks.
Reaction from Hilarious Madame President of the "Original" UnOrganizers was "I hate that parade.  I keep waiting for something to happen".  We'll give the money to the Friends of Doo Dah so they can put it towards paying for the 27th Annual Doo Dah Parade.  (see attached if you want to donate too).
Besides Officer Steve Smith, see who else (in a more serious manner) was awarded the title of Unsung Hero and find out about the Gala on http://shortnorth.org/
Doo Dah "original" UnOrganizers,  Thanks for teaching "the new kids in the sandbox" how to disorganizing things. 
Now things are really screwed up!
Love from the Land of Doo Dah,
    Mz Doo Dah, ChairChick & Queen of Doo Dah.
      and the Doo Dah DisOrganizers
You are invited to attend the 27th Annual Doo Dah Parade on Sunday, July 4th, 2010 @ 1:00 p.m.
