LETTER

These flower purchases will bloom into service

I would like to thank all the citizens who came out and supported our fund-raiser during the month of May by buying silk flower arrangements.

This was a big success for us. Thanks to you, we were able to raise $2,347 to donate to the Isle of Wight Volunteer Rescue Squad to use in purchasing equipment for their rescue units.

A special thank you to our flower artist for her talent and time, her assistant salesman, and Junior Keen for allowing us to set up at Keen's Automotive.

We will be selling arrangements for Father's Day. Your support is always needed and appreciated. All monies collected are given directly to the Isle of Wight Volunteer Rescue Squad to help meet the needs of our community.

Sherry B. Jones, President
