National Notary Association Float

I help with the NNA Float on December 27,2006. I wanted to help so that I could say on January 1, 2007 that I help with that float. I had fun with two family members. I talked to the float builders which they said the NNA was not doing anything for the people that help with the float. I hope that the NNA starts thinking about there membership. Instead of just making money for themself.

Is it a normal practice to ...

do something for those who help build the float? I'm glad you had fun, it must be a neat experience (regardless if it was the NNA or not). However, (being philosophical here) in life, you can't always give of something and expect something in return.

Most people who work on floats are volunteers, however the builders do (or at least used to) hire groups to help. I have lots of very fun memories of decorating as a kid with my church youth group. That was one way we raised funds for camp and such. It is a great experience and staying all night to see the parade is also a great experience. At least for young people, it would be really hard on these old bones now. lol
