The Grand Island Teachers' Association raised $4,179.00 this year to benefit the Hospice Bouquet Sale Fundraiser February 28 through March 3rd. This is the 14th year the teachers have participated. A total of 114 Tribute bouquets were donated to the Hospice patients compliments of the GITA. The teachers raise money for the flowers through dress-down days at the schools. This year, residents of Elderwood have a bouquet in each guest room, in the dining rooms and also at the nurses' stations, conference room and lobby. The vases were all donated by the teachers. The following current and retired teachers made this happen: Linda Harbison, Debbie Beis, Dana Allen, Mary Jane Fonte, Jennifer Kropidlowski, Charlene Burchfield and Kathy Fik.

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).

Center. After delivering the bouquets at the schools, the committee of Linda Harbison and Debbie Beis and their assistants, Kathy Fik, Maria Connell, Mary Domanski and Lorraine Szezublewski arrived at Riverwood with boxes of bouquets which had to be arranged and put in vases for distribution throughout the Center. Since their first bouquet sale in 1994, GITA has raised $11,346 for Hospice. Marlowe Beis, also on the committee, was not available for this delivery.
