President’s Corner

We're coming down to the wire after a year of building,fundraising, camaraderie and hopes of a whimsical, ani-mated and humorous float that will please everyonewho sees it.

Looking ahead, we have our Annual Dinner coming upon January 27 - this is a fun evening where everyonereaps the fruits of their labors and we have a lot of fun.Gloria Winkley has worked hard to make sure it's agreat evening, so mark your calendar and make a reser-vation.

If you aren't going to the parade, be sure to watch for uson TV. We are Unit 43, following the Kiwanis float andthe Bannelos Charro Team (8 horse riders). We willalso be running our animation at post-parade (seeDustin Crumb's article).

We have a unique, first and cool situation with thisfloat. For the first time we have three generations oper-ating the float from the inside. The Crumb Family Trio- Grandfather Don Crumb, Son Dwight Crumb andGrandson Dustin Crumb. Don will act as a second pairof eyes for son Dwight, who will drive the float. Ourvice president of float development is grandson DustinCrumb. His job is to run the float's animation.

Hope everyone has a fabulous holiday season withmany blessings and lots of good things in 2007 - let'shope one of the good things is a trophy-winning "TheGreat Howldini."

Happy Holidays, Floaters! May the Spirit of Christmas beWith You.

By the time you receive this, we will be "under the bridge"and decorating "The Great Howldini." I hope all of youwho are able have signed up to help us in some way duringdecorating week, from Dec. 26 through Jan. 1 (the paradeis on Jan. 2 this year because the first is on a Sunday andPasadena has a "never on Sunday" rule). This is also thetime of think about your membership renewal if it's due orto get some friends to be first-time joiners.

If you want to come down and cheer on Howldini whenthe judges arrive, we are being judged on Dec. 31 at 2:28p.m. and again on Jan. 1 at 2:28 p.m. On the first, we willtake the float out on Hampton Road to run the animationand everything else people will see for the parade so thejudges can do what they do - judge. C'mon down andcheer on the construction team - they have put thousandsof volunteer hours into making this float a reality and it'sabsolutely wonderful.

Kudos to Dustin Crumb, Dwight Crumb, Don Crumb, JimGeoghegan, Bob Neilson, Carol Imbriale and grandsonBuddy, Sharlyn French, Jim Misamore, Jimmy Harrington,John Privett, Janis Peterson, Randy Bartos, Denise Ballard,Jacob Maitless, Tim Rahtz and son Adam, Clara Satter-field, Pat Foltyn and Jim Neilson. If I missed any of theregulars, forgive me - I'm having a senior moment. Every-one needs to know that these are the core folks who aredown at the construction site every spare minute they have- including during the week and on Sundays. If it were notfor their dedication, we would not have a float. One ofthem, Jim Geoghegan has three jobs - chef at lunchtimeand he handles our Floatique items. Triple thanks to Jim.When you see these folks, give them a pat on the back anda great big THANK YOU!!!

Clara Sat-terfield and her crew in flower receiving are going tobe extremely busy. Folks, we are talking 10,000 redcarnations and 8,000 red roses just for starters. Adduntold numbers of yellow, white, bronze and lavendermums, other roses, delphinium, stock, Bells of Ire-land, orchids, greenery and what ever else I have for-gotten at the moment (like Glads) and you get thepicture.See you all ‘Under the Bridge’, and don’t forget todress warm!

Annual DinnerAnnual Dinner

Our Annual Dinner will be held at La CanadaCountry Club on Friday, January 27.

You will be receiveing an invitation shortly.Let's all get together and celebrate our floatbuilding achievements.

Let's remember we're one of the few self builtfloats in the parade. It's a tribute to all thehard work of our dedicated volunteeers whomake it a reality.

Happy Hours 2006Happy Hours 2006 TICKETSTICKETS

DevelopmentDevelopmentEarly on the morning of December 11th the float went through the last of the required Tournament of Roses inspec-tions. The float performed well thanks to all of the work that Jim Geoghegan’s crew has put in over the past sixmonths. It will soon be time to start decorating the float and we are counting on your support both as decorators andspectators as the float is completed and drives down the parade route on January 2nd. Feel free to come out and visit usunder the bridge during deco week or as we show off the float to the judges on January 1st. We have also received aninvitation from the Tournament of Roses to animate at Post Parade on the 2nd and 3rd, but if you miss the float at anyof these events, assume the weather cooperates we will put the float on display at Memorial Park on Saturday January6th for one last showing before the float is dismantled to prepare for the 2007 parade. I know we are all working onfinishing our 2006 float, but it is time to start thinking about the 2007 parade. Below is the hint given by Paul Holmanthe 2007 Pasadena Tournament of Roses President:

‘It is difficult to give a better clue than the one I provided at the Float Builders Dinner, but let me try to simplify it: Our theme incorporates the requirement that our floats be completely covered with natural materials and celebrates thegood-natured enthusiasm of Tournament of Roses volunteers. I really can't give a better "hint" without just stating thetheme.’-Paul

If you have any ideas on what you think we should build for the2007 float, please submit your ideas to the concept contest, and youcould be receiving two free tickets to the 2007 parade.
