2013 Riders and Outwalkers

The Rotary Rose Parade Float Committee Inc. presents “Oh The Places We Go” as the theme of our January 1, 2013 float.

A central world globe represents the community and global service contributed by the Rotary International network of 1.2 million community volunteers worldwide. As the globe spins and gears turn, lotus and cherry blossoms and giant origami “peace cranes” will remind the millions of viewers around the world of Rotary International’s commitment to “Service above Self” while also reflecting Rotary International President Tanaka’s vision of “Peace through Service.” We celebrate our Rotary members who travel around the world to promote world understanding and peace and conduct humanitarian service.

Sixteen of those Rotary Club international volunteers will be “Float Participants” on our 2013 float – some will be riding the float and several more will be walking alongside the float.
