Hawaii Participates in ARC's First Float

"Images of Hope" is the theme of the American Red Cross' first ever float entry in the Jan. 1 Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, Calif. The float is the first in a series of year-round activities in 1988 celebrating the organization's 125th anniversary. Children from around the world who have served or been helped by Red Cross will ride on the float. It will be decorated by 300 Red Cross volunteers and will display 10 floral graphics depicting the personal feelings of hope Red Cross gives people. The sale of two types of commemorative pins will help build the float. They are $10 for a Tournament of Roses pin and $125 for a limited edition 125th anniversary pin. They are available at the Hawaii State Chapter headquarters, 4155 Diamond Head Rd., telephone 734-2101.
