2018 Amsterdam Jubilee Grand Marshal

The suspense has been building. The time has arrived. This announcement is my pleasure to reveal.

Last year the The Amsterdam Jubilee proudly teamed up with the Miami Alumni association.

We decided to have both events the same day and use the opportunity to have a "homecoming" of sorts.
That being said the choice for the 2018 Amsterdam Jubilee Grand Marshal was an easy one. 

A long time supporter of the Jubilee, a cheerleader for the kids of Miami and the biggest Eagle fan I have ever seen.
Not only has he supported everything good in the community for a lifetime he embodies everything good in the community. 

Ladies and Gentlemen....
Our 2018 Grand Marshal is Mr. Miami
