ThisGen 2019

When you think of “The Pasadena Tournament of Roses” (PTOR) , what do you think of?

The Rose Parade & Rose Bowl!, of course!  On January 1st (or 2nd!)

But what about the rest of the year??   In their “off-season” the PTOR is about funding/donations to “do good” orgnaizations, numerous committee planning meetings every month, member recruitment, tours, Queen & Royal Court selection, and more!   Well, now here’s another – new – chapter to the rest of their story.

A hard-working friend on the PTOR staff recently informed me of this new chapter which inaugurates this Saturday, May 11th at the Pasadena Convention Center.  And if you have young people in your life you’ll want to pay attention:  #ThisGen 2019 hosted by the PTOR, and presented with East West Bank, is their newest initative:
