Through his affiliation with Kiwanis, Committee member Steve Varma helps support California Key Clubs by introducing students to the art and fun of float building. Key Club members can raise funds for their club through their participation while learning team building and experiencing the satisfaction of working together to accomplish a common goal.

 Constructing a world-class float is expensive. Each volunteer hour donated by Key Club, Circle K or Kiwanis members reduces the cost of the Kiwanis float.

Steve has been decorating floats for 22 years beginning with his own high school Key Club, and he's still at it with no sign of slowing down. He got hooked while at John F. Kennedy High School in Granada Hills, Calif. His Key Club interclubed with Glendora High School's club, to work on Rose Parade float as a fundraiser with Fiesta Floats, then in Temple City. Steve is happy to help spread the word about Kiwanis' charitable works through the exposure the floats can generate.
