Rose Float

JV, Cerritos, D13N

On December 30th, Region 8 blissfully plunged into a vibrant world of roses for Region 8 Ohana - Rose Float Decorating! D13N, D13S, D13W, D19N, and D19S all joined efforts. During the Rose Float Decorating, we dispersed into two shifts, the day shift and night shift, learning about fellowship with others as well as the importance of abiding to the rules and cutting down our monkey business in order to keep the environment and the people safe from harm. We were assigned tasks, some small, such as prepping the flowers which would be used for multiple floats, and some large, such as putting their creativity up to the test when decorating the float! After gobbling down PB&J sandwiches, Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers, and cookies the Cookie Monster would approve of, we rotated tasks and went back to business! In each task, we put in the utmost amount of effort, with the occasional hollers of “SCAFFOLDING!” as a signal to make way for the people transporting them. Befriending and working together with people from different divisions made the experience more enjoyable as we found more ways to connect! With this year’s theme of Turning the Corner, our float was the international Kiwanis bear mascot surfing, with our theme as “Catching the Wave of Service!”
