Here it is October again, and that means the annual T.T.T. Chapter AZ-P poinsettia sale is under way. 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 6.5” pots, 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 deserving fourth grade girls to accredited summer camps.
The camp experience is life-changing 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 They may be shy and withdrawn when they leave for camp, but when they return they are so chatty and happy that it’s hard to believe these are the same girls.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 and until the third week of November. But don’t wait too long to order because when the sale is over, the sale is over! Also, we will be at the Eagle’s Nest ticket kiosk from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. every Tuesday in October.
If you would like to order online, you may send a note to [email protected]. She will reply to you promptly. Or you can place your order by calling Laurie Overson at 535-4322. Delivery will be on Friday, December 2, which is eight days after Thanksgiving. We are taking delivery a little later this year in hopes that the plants will be a little larger than last year. Also, the white ones will be a little smaller than the red ones, so keep that in mind when you order.
Thank you for helping us send girls to camp!
