Six lucky fourth graders leave for a camping experience.
Laurie Overson
Here it is October again, and that means the annual T.T.T. Chapter AZ-P poinsettia sale is underway. We fully expect our plants this year to be among the most beautiful we have ever had and the price still remains at $10! The poinsettias will come from Armstrong Nursery which has over 100 years of experience in growing magnificent plants.
The plants will come in a 6.5” pot, be 14.5” to 6.5” tall and be available in either red or white. And did I mention that they will still be only $10? It is sure to be money well spent as the whole purpose of this fundraiser is to send adorable fourth grade girls, such as those pictured above, to accredited summer camps.
People, I can’t begin to tell you just how life changing the camp experience is for these girls! For some it is the first time they are away from home and that can be a scary proposition for a 10 year old. They may be shy and withdrawn when they leave for camp, but when they return they are so chatty and happy that it’s hard to believe these are the same girls. They have made new friends, experienced new activities and learned that they could accomplish things they never dreamed of.
We have so appreciated your support of our past fundraisers and we hope we can count on you again this year. You can purchase your plants through any T.T.T. Chapter AZ-P member during the month of October. Don’t wait until November to order because the sale ends when October does! Also, we will be at the Eagle’s Nest ticket kiosk from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. every Wednesday in October.
Watch the E-group for information about online sales. You can also place your order by calling Laurie Overson at 535-4322. Delivery will be on Friday, November 21, which is the week before Thanksgiving, so your home can be graced by these beautiful poinsettias throughout the holiday season.
