The heart of Friends of North County Recreation District FUNDRAISING is FLOWERS, and The Flower Committee is on track to bring in a Summer Season record-breaking $5,000 for scholarships.
“It takes a village” – and in this case, it takes three villages! More than thirty dedicated volunteers from Nehalem, Wheeler, Manzanita have given their time, talent, and flowers to make this fundraising effort a success.
Volunteers gather at the garden of Flower Committee Chair, Patty Rinehart, every morning to make arrangements for sale at the Little Apple and for Special Orders. Some volunteers bring flowers and greens from their own gardens; some make flower arrangements; some transport orders. Everyone enjoys coming together to benefit families in our community.
