Starting tomorrow, Thursday, Friends of North County Recreation District (NCRD) will be selling flowers at the Little Apple Grocery Store in Manzanita. The flowers are picked fresh each morning and taken to the store about 10 AM. Tomorrow’s flowers are being done by Jessie and Shirley, representatives of 1st Security Bank. As long as we have flowers and arrangers, we will have fresh flowers for you at that location 7 days a week. We might miss a few days due to lack of flowers.
Over the years, Friends of NCRD has been able to provide $14,000 for scholarships-about half of which go to the Youth Department at NCRD. Studies have shown kids who attend preschool or after school programs are ahead of the game in academics and social skills. Friends want to do the best we can with our younger generations as they will be taking care of us someday. By supporting our flower sales, we are supporting our kids, who in turn will be supporting us. Thanks!
