Flower Power
Flower Power is approaching March 4-5.   On Sunday
March 4, volunteers are needed to traverse the convention
floor pulling plants and flowers from displays and putting
them in boxes.  The boxes are loaded in semis and
transported to a central area.  Early Monday March 5,
the proper number of boxes will be picked up and taken
to nursing homes.   Shalom Park has been one for the last
few years.  A second facility will be added this year.
On Sunday after the flowers are pulled the volunteers
go to a downtown restaurant for dinner.
