What better way to celebrate the arrival of spring – at last – than with a bright and cheery floral bouquet while supporting the Whitewater Rotary Club, which is offering two choices for flower arrangements this year.
One is a color-coordinated bouquet including six stems of roses and six stems of alstroemeria (also known as the Peruvian Lily or the Lily of the Incas).
The second choice is the “Morning Miracle” bouquet featuring 10 stems of brightly colored alstroemeria, daisy mums, stock, dusty miller, carnations, filler and a rose.
Those who wish to order a flower arrangement must place an order by Tuesday, March 23. The flowers will be ready for local delivery – or pick up – on Wednesday, April 21.
The cost for each arrangement is $17.
Orders can be placed a couple of different ways include directly through any member of the Whitewater Rotary Club, which will make arrangements for delivery or pick-up.
An alternate way to place an order is by sending an email to WhitewaterRotary@gmail.com. In the email, those placing the order must include their name, what type of bouquet – or bouquets – they would like to order and how many of each bouquet. After submitting an order via email, a return message will be sent out providing information regarding payment and how to make arrangements for pick-up.
As a chapter of Rotary International, the Whitewater Rotary Club aims to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
Local projects for the Whitewater Rotary Club, supported with funds raised, include: the construction of the Cravath Lakefront Amphitheater; scholarships for graduating Whitewater High School students; the Whitewater High School Ferradermis Robotics Team; participation in the Badger Girls and Badger Boys program; the Fit Kids Shuffle during the annual Whitewater Discovery Series Half-Marathon and 5K run; Rotary Skate Park, and; New Beginnings’ Association for the Prevention of Family Violence.
