Our members recently participated in a "float" for the Lewisville High School Homecoming Day Parade. It was a fun event, and several hundred people in Lewisville learned a little bit about Rotary, our club and received a piece of candy that was tossed to parade watchers.
Why a float? According to Paul Harris, "In the promotion of Rotary, it is important to reach large numbers and you cannot reach them privately"
- The Rose Parade is viewed live by approximately 700,000 people
- The television audience exceeds 37 million viewers in just the USA...many more if worldwide audience is included.
- Volunteers donate over 7,000 hours preparing decorations and applying them to the float.
As Rotarians, we can donate time, talent or treasure for building the float. Click http://rotaryfloat.org to learn how you can participate. The best way to participate for us here in Texas is through a donation. Click here to donate.
Of the things we say and do, #5 Make it Fun
And, that we did along with the crowd that
gathered to watch the
Lewisville High School Homecoming Parade
who now have a little bit better idea about Rotary.
