ROTARY SHARES

2008 Rotary Rose Parade Float Video

Rotary Rose Parade Float Committee’s entry into the 2008 Tournament of Roses Parade, entitled “Sharing World Literacy Day,” celebrates the leadership in service by Rotarians worldwide. Eight International Exchange Students on the float represent different parts of the Rotary World. The theme of this year’s parade is “Passport to the World’s Celebrations” and this will be Rotary’s 28th consecutive year of participation in the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. Rotary is an organization of business and professional people united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

Since this is not a project of Rotary International, no Rotary International funds are used for the Float. The Rotary Rose Parade Float Committee thanks you in advance for your contributions, participation and continued support in our efforts to show the world that “Rotary Shares” by Sharing World Literacy Day to service in the World.

Last year, more than 1300 Rotarians and their families, Rotaract Club members, and Interact Club members volunteered their time and effort to help decorate the float. These Rotarians worked countless hours putting flowers, seeds, dried petals, and greenery on every square inch of the float. But volunteer efforts are not enough; we need your financial support as well. We ask for your donation of $3.00 (or more) per member to help us show the world that we truly are dedicated to and believe that "Rotary Shares" In International Service. Thank you in advance for your contributing to your 2008 float.
