This year marks the Rotary Rose Parade Float
Committee's 35th consecutive year of promoting Rotary International
with an entry in the 125th Annual Pasadena Tournament of Roses, Rose
Parade. Rotary International President Elect Ron Burton’s theme for
the 2013-2014 Rotary year is “Engage Rotary-Change Lives”, and the
Tournament of Roses theme for the 2014 rose Parade is “Dreams Come
True”. We will be focusing our 2014 float’s design and theme by
combining these two outstanding, and related themes. Through Rotary,
we have all changed lives and have been making dreams come true for
over one hundred years.
I serve this year as the chair of the Rotary Rose Parade Float
Committee, an honor I will truly cherish as one of my Rotary
highlights. I would like to personally thank the Rotary districts
and Rotarians of Southern and Central California, and Nevada, for
their continued pledged sponsorship of the Float and to all the
Rotary Districts, Clubs and individuals Rotarians throughout the
United States and Canada who also make donations and thus insure
that this great public relations event is a reality each year.
We are proud to announce that Rotary International President Elect
Ron Burton will be featured on the 2014 Float, along with other
Rotarians who exemplify the mission of Rotary to promote world peace
through better understanding. The viewing audience for the
Tournament of Roses, Rose Parade is an estimated 500,000 in pre and
post parade viewing; 700,000 on the Parade route; 40 million
television viewers in the United States and millions more in over
200 countries worldwide.
We hope that you will also be a part of this unique public relations
event for Rotary International. We are currently raising funds for
the 2014 Float, and are in search of people willing to share in this
unique opportunity to promote Rotary’s accomplishments to the
millions of viewers around the world. Enjoy our website, share
it with others, and please consider becoming a donor for this
unequalled public relations project. And, if you have time and will
be near Pasadena, California in the days following Christmas through
New Year's Eve, help us decorate the Float!
We look forward to meeting you and having you as a vital member in
making this year’s Float the best publicity money can buy for Rotary
International.
