Cancer Society Announces Return Of 'Daffodil Days'
Posted
Staff Report-
The American Cancer Society is bringing back “Daffodil Days.”
Carol Huffer, previous coordinator of the Daffodil Days, said she was recently contacted by the South Bend office of the American Cancer Society to see if she thought Daffodil Days would be welcome in the area again and would she be willing to be the contact person again. She said yes.
According to a news release, the American Cancer Society Daffodil Days was an event people looked forward to for many years in the area.
Daffodils are titled “The Flower of Hope” by the Cancer Society.
Huffer said the original coordinator, Lois Niemier, headed the annual project for several years and when she needed to relinquish her responsibility, Huffer, now a 23-year breast cancer survivor, and her husband, also a cancer survivor, offered to take over the project as coordinators.
Orders can be called in to Huffer any time until Feb. 28. Delivery will be on March 21. The flowers will be $10 per bunch, which is 10 stems.
Deliveries can be made if the order consists of 10 bunches or more to one specific location.
Anderson Greenhouse, on North Detroit Street, Warsaw, has offered to provide space for the day in order for people to pick-up their orders.
Huffer said that what is exciting is that people still ask her if there will ever be Daffodil Days again and now she can say they’re back.
Huffer would appreciate help with distribution of flyers, taking of orders and general help with completing this project successfully. She can be contacted by calling 574-858-0051.
