The Last of the Daffodils -Thanks For Your Support!
Daffodil Days for The American Cancer Society are over, the flowers are waning. They were beautiful last week and a breath of spring! I heard from three of my friends that purchased them last week that they were so beautiful, large and very lovely. I’m so glad they enjoyed them. I'm sure the cancer patients in our local hospitals and out patient treatment centers enjoyed their "Gift of Hope" bouquets they received last week, that we are able to give to them thanks to those that purchase them to be given to the hospitals. We sure do thank Peterson-Anderson Florist and Engwalls Florists here in Duluth for putting those bouquets together for us, they donate their time, and we appreciate their partnership with us. Thank you to the Trillium staff for donating their time to put the flowers into bags, and getting them ready for delivery and on site sales, and manning the sales tables. We thank the Holiday Center for allowing us to promote the daffodils in their skywalk and mall.
If you purchased one of the potted mini daffodil plants, you will be able to plant the bulb in your garden and enjoy them again (new this year, they were very popular). If you purchased a Boyd’s Bear, our “Bea R. Hope”, you will enjoy it for a long time. This is the third year they were offered. Boyd’s Bears make them special for us. (By the way, Boyd’s Bears are made in my hometown area of Hanover, PA!) I have two years of Boyd’s Bears sitting on our chair, and have added this year’s "Bea R. Hope" to the collection, she is so cute!
This week we are wrapping up the event and looking at the results of all of our work. The staff all worked hard. If you purchased any of our ACS daffodils, or daffodil products we thank you. You have contributed to the advancement of our mission and programs and research. Now, we will move on to working on our Relay For Life events. Three college relays are coming up in early April that I just ordered the t-shirts for on Friday and yesterday. Bemidji State University, College of St. Scholastica and University of Minnesota-Duluth (UMD), and University of Wisconsin/Superior (UWS) in May. Leadership for these college events are the students, they do a great job and have a lot of fun. The Duluth Community Relay is July 18 – 19th, with many events in between at a community near you.
