March 2018 News from Flower Angels!

March News 2018

Greetings!

During this month of March, Flower Angels counts it's blessings for the many, many people who make our mission possible. Some volunteers who flew south for the winter are returning. We have welcomed a slew of new volunteers who want to be a part of our Flower Angels' community. And...we are truly thankful for all the volunteers who persevered through the winter months to continue to bring smiles and sunshine to those in nursing homes and hospice facilities across Cape Cod. To date, over 33,500 kindness bouquets have been delivered. Pictured are Kathleen Tosiello (Flower Angels first volunteer 4 years ago) and Xiaohui, one of our newest volunteers. It takes a village to reach as many lonely and isolated people that Flower Angels does! We love our volunteers!!!!!!!!!!

This month is also a time of planning exciting events and fundraisers over the coming months. Read on for important news.........

With Gratitude

Your kindness and support are appreciated!

Thank you Rotary Club of Hyannis!!!

Dear Paul Gandillot, Hyannis Rotary and the Hyannis Rotary Club Community Development Committee:

On behalf of all of our volunteers, I am sending our sincere gratitude for your kindness in selecting Flower Angels to receive a generous technology grant! This grant will enable Flower Angels to upgrade our tired and obsolete computer equipment as well as purchase software for volunteer and donor data bases and other office equipment. I cannot thank you enough for this most needed grant that will allow Flower Angels the technology boost it needs! It is through the generosity of our cherished donors that our mission of love continues and grows. Thank you Rotary Club of Hyannis.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Carter, Founder
