Rotary Clubs deliver 416 Flowering Plants to local Seniors.
At the conclusion of the Colorado Garden and Home Show this year many Denver Area Rotary Clubs came together and with the help of several Boy Scout Troops, gathered the flowering plants that were in good shape. The purpose of this effort was to place these flowers in the hands of Seniors throughout the greater Denver area. This year approximately 4000 flowers were gathered and distributed …creating 4000 huge, happy smiles. This is the 25th year that the Rotarians have distributed flowers to the Seniors in this area.
In Broomfield, the Evening Rotary Club distributed 208 Flowering plants to the residents of Maryel Manor, Salvation Army’s Silver Crest, the Adara Living (formerly Broomfield Skilled Nursing), the Broomfield Senior Center, and Meals-on-Wheels. The Morning Rotary Club delivered 216 Flowering plants to other facilities in the area, including Balfour Retirement Community, to bring the total number of Flowering plants distributed in this year to 416 plants.
The Rotary Clubs are looking for more sites that would be interested in receiving flowers for Seniors next year at the conclusion of the Colorado Garden and Home Show. For additional information, contact Gerry Case, Rotarian, at (303) 618-0104.
