Rose Parade Volunteering
I will not do a deep dive into the activities this month so that I can cover the highlights for the year. However, I did want to share a bit of the Rose Parade volunteering experience as it was the first time anyone from my family has ever done anything like this. For years, we have watched the Rose Parade on TV, and, as a teenager, I remember experiencing the parade live on a very cold morning. But participating as a volunteer gives you a deeper appreciation of exactly what it takes to build these floral marvels on wheels.
