Orders are starting earlier than normal this year because so many businesses plan in advance for their flower orders. All the proceeds go to help fund the Children's Justice Center here in Washington County. This is the greatest fundraiser-- you can help a local organization that helps your community's abused children! The poinsettias are 6" and come in a variety of colors. They are $10 each or $8.50 each for 5 or more. There are three different pick-up dates starting in late November. Please contact the CJC today for your pre-orders! Call Marilee at the Children's Justice Center at 435-634-1134 or e-mail them at cjc@infowest.com.
