Rose Parade Highlight
On New Year's Day, 37 million people tuned in to watch the annual Rose Parade. However, what they didn't see were the months of dedication and preparation that the 900+ "White Suiters," or volunteers, of the Tournament of Roses gave in producing the beloved New Year's Tradition.
Of the team of devoted volunteers was Greg Custer, local Newport Beach resident and Executive Vice President at Whittier Trust in Newport Beach. Custer put on his first White Suit over 21 years ago, and has served on the Board of Directors for the Tournament of Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game since 1998. As a White Suiter, he has ensured the success of the Rose Parade through his time on 10 operating committees including University Entertainment, Sports Media, Post Parade and TV Radio. Most recently, Custer served as Chair of the Float Construction Committee.

Mandated reporters are often the first line of defense for our children in preventing and stopping sexual abuse in our schools. But in order to be effective in their roles - and to comply with the law - school district employees must complete regular Mandated Reporter Training requirements. As the New Year brings planning for the 2020-2021 school year and budget into the forefront, it is imperative that school districts devote the time and resources needed for this essential training.
