December 2017- A Month of Celebration

Greetings!    Celebrating our Veterans in November was a wonderful way to say thank you to these special Americans. Thanks to our many Flower Angels volunteers who designed over 400 bouquets, Veterans were the recipients of not only flowers, but a visit with an accompanying volunteer Veteran who personally thanked each for the service they gave to our country. This special Veteran's event would not have been possible without our generous sponsors: VFW Post 2578, Yarmouth Rotary, Hyannis Rotary, and The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod. Also, we thank Ocean State Job Lot who donated all the mugs for the honor bouquets, American Flag donations from The Nicholas Xiarhos Foundation and Military Friends Foundation and a donation from Disabled American Veterans Organization. The Flower Angels are proud to honor and thank ALL Veterans!

Veteran's Day 2017

Your kindness and support are appreciated! In just three days, 418 resident Veterans were honored with flowers and flags in 20 nursing homes and assisted living centers across Cape Cod. As one volunteer said of their visit, “It was very special experiencing the consciousness and awareness of the young, middle age and older Veterans thanking and saluting each other for their service…..beautiful to witness and challenging not to cry while observing these encounters.” These visits were truly meaningful due to the 45 volunteer Veterans who accompanied our Flower Angel volunteers on these visits. We salute you and thank you for your service to our county! A SPECIAL THANK YOU Thank you, Rotary Club of Hyannis, for inviting Flower Angels Suzanne and Mara to share the news of our Veteran's Buddy Project at their recent luncheon.Flower Angels is especially grateful for their generous donation to help with the expenses of honoring 418 of our Veteran heroes last week!
