Friends of NCRD will continue to sell dahlia bouquets in September. If the weather holds and Friends has flowers, Friends will continue their bouquet project next to the Little Apple in downtown Manzanita. Price points will continue to be $5-$10, 7 days a week. Gardens located in Wheeler, Nehalem, Neah-Kah-Nie and Manzanita are sharing their flowers with Friends. Over thirty volunteers have been involved in picking, arranging, and transporting bouquets for Friends. Selling bouquets is one of several fundraising activities Friends is involved in. Friends Mission is to support NCRD’s programs and projects through promotion, fundraising, and providing scholarships to encourage inclusion for all.
On track to make nearly $5,000 from this summer fundraiser, Friends has already started getting ready for their Fall/Winter fundraiser. This would be Friends Fall planted Spring blooming bulbs sale plus amaryllis and iris sale. Friends will be asking the community for help with this sale in about three weeks.
