Selling Flowers... Thanks for your help

Dear Brother Knights,
Thank you for your help selling flowers after masses this weekend.  Ted and his wife Shannon were instrumental at St. Clare's - filling in at multiple masses.  Phil was at every mass, and his wife Donna helped and prepared the artistic buckets we used to collect the money.  John Keppel, Joe Mildenbeger, Mike Devlin, Paul Pompili, Jim Stahl and some parishioners helped out too.  (Hope I didn't miss anyone... but THANKS to all.)  I'm especially impressed with our newer members pitching in - ready to help.  I know we made a profit and will be able to send a check to Mother and Child Education Center... just don't know the amount yet.

But like many of our activities, the "Good" that is done can't be measured in dollars.  And for what little we invested in time and money, the reward is greatly beneficial, not only to a worthy charity, but also to the mothers receiving a flower, and to our parishes as a whole who see and respond to the need to do something, even a small thing, to help others.

But we had flowers left over.  A big bouquet was placed at the base of our Blessed Mother statue at St. John Fisher, and some were taken home to our wives.  But next year, we may want to order fewer flowers from Global Rose.  Still, it was profitable, and the profit is going to a worthy cause.
