More than 1,200 people have already signed on to help build the City’s 2009 Rose Parade float entitled “Making a Splash” – demonstrating enthusiasm for the community float-decorating and related activities that kick off in October.
Volunteers are still sought to participate in the community project, which is meant to unify residents, homeowner associations, non-profit organizations, schools, sport groups, service clubs, faith organizations, businesses and others.
Building the float will require hundreds of Mission Viejo volunteers, thousands of donated man-hours and support from the entire community. Volunteer opportunities are available in two-hour shifts at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center at 24932 Veterans Way during “Dry Flower Days” and for six- to seven-hour shifts during “Flowering Week” in Irwindale where the float is being constructed.
For detailed information about dates, shifts and taking part in the fun-filled community project, call 949-470-3061 or view the float decorating schedule. Community organizations and service clubs wanting to participate should contact Kathi Dickey at 949-470-8488.
Residents are encouraged to visit the City’s blog at http://missionviejolife.org and signup for its E-news at www.cityofmissionviejo.org to stay apprised of the upcoming float-decorating opportunities and related exciting activities leading up to the 120th Tournament of Roses Parade.
