FROM MARIE: A list of potential business customers in Sidney was distributed at the last Rotary meeting. Four members have kindly offered to canvass selected areas. Another NINE canvassers are required. One does not have to actually up-sell the poinsettias and could just leave the green order form with the businesses and ask them to phone the canvasser with their order. A second visit back to inquire if they would like to place an order is crucial for sales and to advise of the delivery date.
We’ll be promoting the 6-inch/$10.00 plants as the larger ones will have to be a special order late on in the month (Marigold Nurseries are not producing the larger ones this year and will only be receiving them in late November).

Jinny and I will be handing out the necessary green order forms, maps and info sheets regarding plant care and delivery on Thursday, November 1st, and the following Thursday for those who have not stipulated their designated areas as yet.
Delivery will be Thursday, November 29th. Drivers with vans would be appreciated to help deliver the plants. They must be delivered in a closed unit as they are topical flowering plants and can not withstand cold or cold drafts for any length of time.Information regarding sales/designated areas/delivery can be made to Marie Rosko (656-2358/cell 858- 2241; mrosko@telus.net) or to Jinny (655-8823; jhambly@shaw.ca).
