ROSE COURT CONVENED AT ROTARY CLUB OF SAN MARINO

On November 14th, The Rose Court and Queen visited the Huntington Library and met with over 100 students from the Longfellow, and 4th Street Elementary Schools. The students participated in Rotary’s “Plants and Princesses Adventure.” Huntington’s Garden Botanical Director, Jim Folsom, designed the program to be fun and educational and to teach students about plants. Three sessions were specifically tailored to the students’ age group, and students were able interact with the Rose Court while learning about plants. When the sessions were over, the students were divided into two groups. One group, with the assistance of the Court, began building their own miniature “Rose Parade Float,” while discussing the all-natural materials used to make the miniatures. The other group received assistance from the Rose Court with plant biology and the use of microscopes.

The Rose Court also addressed the entire student group about the benefits of staying in school. The Queen and Court shared personal experiences, and talked about their responsibilities while on the Court. At the end of the program, the Court received a police escort to address 115 community members at a luncheon nearby.

Next on the agenda for the Rose Court was a luncheon with the San Marino Rotary Club. Camille Kennedy, the Rose Queen, and her Royal Court sat with Rotarians during lunch and later answered questions from Jonathan Chang, Bryan Hawthorne, Denise Wadsworth, and others. Each member of the Court answered questions with great poise and grace, becoming of a Princess. The Court was asked, among other things, to respond to the question “How might you effect change in the world?” The members of the Court addressed this question in a positive and uplifting manner. Princess, Cole Fox talked about meeting a young girl, who felt like everybody had given up on her. Fox told the girl “I am part of everybody and I haven’t given up on you. The ladies all seemed delighted to attend the Rotary lunch but had to be whisked away quickly to their next event. ... See MoreSee Less
