Each year we donate many gift certificates to other not for profit organizations for auction or raffle, including certificates to each member and affiliate club in The Boston Committee of the GCA. The proceeds from their raffles benefit The Blossom Fund, which was created to fund public projects of horticultural impact in the Greater Boston area. Our cancellation this year puts the Committee in the position of having to raise additional funds through increased donations, so if you are able and so inclined, please visit their site and make a year end gift (and tell them we sent you!) Below is Milton Garden Club member Beverly Van Orman picking up her winning wreath in 2010, and a more recent example of a winner’s wreath. We confer which each gift certificate holder to determine color and decoration preferences, which are often quite a challenge. These orders are some of our favorites to execute.
Thank you to Susan Sloan and Arthur Clarke, today’s generous Wreath of the Day post sponsors, who themselves are active in many of Boston’s charitable organizations, and understand well the challenges of today’s economy.
