Roses are the same price as last year:
$18 for dozen cello wrapped roses – a very nice choice
- OR $25 for dozen professionally arranged roses in a beautiful vase
The sales goal for this year is five dozen roses per Rotarian or a $50 donation to
the club. There is a push for vase sales as they generate more income for the
club.
Dana will distribute cards and your contact list from past sales (if you participated
th
last year) at the upcoming Thursday, September 30 meeting. Remember though
selling can start now!
We had some issues last year and may receive some pushback this year on the
overall quality. Please know that the 2010 rose sales are being ordered directly
from MarketPlace Foods floral department this year (a new adventure for the
fundraiser)! The roses will be shipped directly to the store and stored in the cooler
upon arrival. This will be a huge help and fix to the issues some of the people had
last year with the life of their roses!
A few dates to mark down on your calendar now are:
