Rotary represented at the Rose Bowl parade
A 16-foot-tall owl reigns over the Rotary float to embody both the spirit of self-improvement and the organization’s determination to make the tools of education available to everyone across the globe. Books, a quill and a hybrid apple/globe to symbolize the importance of education throughout the world help fill out the colorful float.

Global Grants – Making Sustainable Change in the World
Rotary clubs in Honduras and Pennsylvania, USA partnered together for a Global Grant to provide eye and vision care to needy residents in Honduras. During a 10-day long mission, Rotarians from both clubs worked to provide a wide variety of vision services through clinics held at local schools and neighborhoods. Over 1,200 individuals were evaluated and 600 received prescription eyeglasses. A local non-governmental organization will continue to provide eyeglasses and medications to those in need.
Improved eyesight can translate into improved educational or occupational opportunities, contributing greatly to improved quality of life for these Honduran residents. Clubs worldwide use these grants to make similar long-term, sustainable improvements in the world.
Every Rotary club has the opportunity to change lives around the world with the help of The Rotary Foundation….one program at a time.
How do we want to make an impact in the world?
