For the thirteenth year in a row, the Grand Island Teachers' Association participated in the Hospice Bouquet Sale. Besides buying bouquets for themselves or as gifts, the teachers raise money through "dress-down" days to purchase the bouquets to take to Elderwood Healthcare at Riverwood on Grand Island Blvd.
"Every resident gets a bouquet, and we arrange flowers for the dining room, too," Debbie Beis said. "This year, we also bought matching vases for the tables in the dining room. We sold $3,681 in bouquets, and we have raised over $20,000 for the Hospice Foundation in the past 13 years," she said.
Chairing this year's event are Linda Harbison (retired) and Debbie Beis, a teacher at Huth Road School. Members of their Committee include Betsy Biro (high school), Mary Jane Fonte (Connor Middle), Kimberley MacDonell (Sidway), Kathy Fik (Kaegebein) and Vinnie Passanese and Maria Connell (Huth Road School).
