The
2009 Rose Parade theme is
"Hat's off to Entertainment"
Our float theme is "Sharing the Great Outdoors"
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.

Decorate the Float

Your
Kiwanis International Rose Float promotes Kiwanis
to approximately 450 million television viewers worldwide
every New Years Day, clearly a significant public
relations tool. Your Kiwanis International Rose Float
Committee invites Kiwanians, clubs, divisions and
districts to share in the excitement of the project.
Opportunities are available to decorate the float
and feed the volunteers. Every club, division or district
in the Kiwanis family can help by becoming a 2007
Kiwanis International Rose Float Sponsor, and by doing
so may actually generate a profit for themselves.
A sponsorship program is available which will provide
a unique banner patch, a commemorative plaque, a quantity
of lapel pins, and tickets for an opportunity drawing,
for various levels of contribution. The drawing prize
is 4 of the best seats for the Rose Parade, 4 seats
for the Rose Bowl Game, a VIP luncheon, and reserved
parking for the Parade and Game. |

Your
24nd Kiwanis International Rose Float will again be
built by Phoenix Decorators, Inc. the builders of
more than 20 floats each year for the Pasadena Rose
Parade on New Year's Day.
The decorating (placing of flowers, seeds, fruits
and vegetables, leaves, etc.) of the float begins
the first December weekend and continues each Saturday.
From December 26th thru 30th, decorating continues
from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. daily, and 8 a.m. until
noon on December 31st.
The decorating is skillfully done by Kiwanians, members
of Circle K and Key Clubs, mostly from California,
but we welcome Kiwanis family participation from anywhere
in the world. Past decorators have come from as far
as North Carolina and Florida. Contact us if you would
like to participate in the decorating!
The dedicated and quality service of our Kiwanis Sponsored
Organizations in past years, and the large number
of willing and interested volunteers, has resulted
in the invitation from Phoenix Decorators to decorate
many additional floats each year.
