Rose Parade Float

Does everyone know when the Tournament of Roses Parade is? If you said Jan. 1, most years you would be right. This coming year it will be on Jan. 2, because the never on Sunday rule. We have in the past sent individual club donations direct to Pasadena, but this year they are asking each club to consider a donation of $3 per member and to send it as combined District donation to cut down on their work. To that end, George Stein of Tracy Sunrise Rotary, will be asking checks be made to Rotary District 5220 and sent to him at P O Box 1287, Tracy, CA 95378-1287. We then will send a District check on to the Rotary Float committee and I will be able to report our District combined donation in Friday Facts.

With Rotary Pride,

Mark Oliver, District Governor
