Why is there no link to this page from the http://www.pulaskiparade.org homepage? And why isn’t there a map of the route on the homepage? Isn’t that the most important piece of information for people going to the parade?

How can I find out where the Polish Cultural Foundation of Clark NJ is meeting along the parade route? There is no information that I can find. No one at the PCF could give me the information. They suggested I look at the website.
Thank you,
