  SOROPTIMIST ROSE BOWL FLOAT  
JANUARY 1ST 2003  

Susan Joyce sent photos of the Soroptimist float in the Rose Parade. Susan writes "These photos were taken right off of my television screen...a small screen of only 25 inches...I thought they came out exceptionally well considering that fact!"

The woman sitting next to her is a children's book author who as I understand it, paid to have the honor of being on the float."
