27 April Flower Event for Aleethia Foundation

The April flower event went off smoothly with my wonderful volunteers picking up the flower donations at Traders and getting them in buckets of water.   Since I am watching my granddaughter this year and cannot pick up the flowers everyday from Traders everyone has stepped up to the plate to make our events happen.
Barbara was the leader and ran the show that Friday 27 April.  We had 13 volunteers creating the most beautiful arrangements and the flowers from Traders were so exquisite.  All the extra flower arrangements went to Fisher House!  Yahoo!

Dear Michele,

Thanks so much for bringing a breath of "Spring" to Aleethia's Friday Night Dinner after such a long Winter.  The floral arrangements that the Freedom Petals volunteer designed were so beautiful and everyone was so excited to take an arrangement back to the hospital/Fisher House.  Besides brightening the room and bringing smiles, I believe in the healing powers that flowers provide....No matter what you are feeling at the time...flowers bring a moment of comfort, uplift one's spirits and so much more.

We greatly appreciate the continuous support of "Freedom Petals" and being part of the Aleethia's family and part of the healing/recovery process of the wounded/injured/ill service members.

Also, thanks to you and Barbara for helping with the birthday cakes and so much more!

Hugs,

Margaret
