TOURNAMENT of ROSES PARADE
On Tuesday, January 1, 2008 at 8 a.m. (PST), millions of spectators from around the world will celebrate the New Year with the 119th Rose Parade themed Passport to the World's Celebrations. The Rose Parade will once again feature the beautiful pageantry and tradition of magnificent floral floats, high-stepping equestrians and spirited marching bands.
CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL
With a congregation of over 10,000 and home of the internationally televised 'Hour of Power' the Crystal Cathedral started as a dream of the Rev. & Mrs. Schuller "To build a great church for God, a church that would change and save lives, a church dedicated to the creed, 'Find a need and fill it, find a hurt and heal it'." So with $500.00 in their pocket they started on their quest
QUEEN MARY
From 1936 to 1967, the Queen Mary was the world's most elegant ocean liner. During her 31 years at sea, she transported the rich and famous across the North Atlantic and during World War II, she carried more than 800,000 soldiers some 600,000 miles. After 1,001 transatlantic crossings, she made her final voyage from Southampton, England, to Long Beach, California. it would be her final crossing, the end of an era.
