The
2008 Rose Parade theme was "Passport to the World's
Celebrations "
Our float theme is "Serving
Children Worldwide"
Kiwanians are
justifiably proud of the enhancement of children's
lives, which we provide with our altruistic service
for the improvement of our communities. Not only are
we saving lives as we have done through our Worldwide
Service Project, but making lives better each day,
one community at a time, one child at a time.
