Get in your order for Elgin Lions Club's 38th annual Rose Day
Members of the Elgin Lions Club are conducting their 38th annual Rose Day.
They will be selling one dozen long-stemmed roses for $15 for delivery on April 13-15. Note that the club didn't inflate the price!
Purchasers will have fresh flowers with which to celebrate Easter, reinforce a loving relationship, thank someone, or just brightening up a room.
This is a major fundraising event for the club that began in 1984 and was so well received that it is now an annual affair.
The roses can be ordered from any Elgin Lions Club member, or an order can be placed by calling (847) 289 4206. A club member will call you back.
Roses also can be ordered at Elgin Ace Hardware on Spring Street or Lilian Street at the checkout counter.
PayPal also can be used via elginlions.org/annual-rose-day or contact elginillinois1@gmail.com.
People who have received the roses in the past have been impressed by their quality. They compare favorably with roses costing five times as much.
Proceeds of the sales will be used to further the charitable works of the Elgin Lions Club. The club provides eye care for those in our community who need it, and have difficulty affording it. The club also participates in other charitable causes and donates money to other worthy organizations.
Nearly all of the money collected by the various fundraisers conducted by the Elgin Lions Cub remains in the Elgin area for the benefit of local people, and the money that does go elsewhere, like Lions International and the Lions of Illinis Foundation, is used to help people in need wherever in the world they may live.
