Flower Sale Distribution Day
2016-05-07 10:00 - 12:00 | Norwood Avenue School, 290 Norwood Ave, Port Jefferson Station, NY, 11776
This is the day we distribute the flowers to you. Then you bring them to the people you sold them to.
The location for the pickup will be Norwood Avenue School, front parking lot.
You can pick up your flowers between 10 and 12 in the morning at that location.
We will probably be meeting at that location at 8:00 am to sort out the flowers into the orders, and we can use some help with that too.
There will not be any distribution of the orders until they are all sorted out. This is a big and complicated job, and we went them all sorted out first before we hand them out to make sure there are no mistakes. Sometimes we have to make substitutions. Maybe the supplier ran out of a color or type of plant. We will do our best to satisfy every order exactly as it was ordered, but please be patient with us, and hopefully a little flexible. If we have to make a substitution, and it was in your flowers, and you don’t like it, we will work with you on substituting something else, or a last resort is to return them and get your money back. Don’t forget to say Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms that day.

Matt Nosenchuk’s Eagle Fundraiser
2016-05-22 15:00 - 17:00
My name is Matthew Nosenchuk, and my Eagle Scout fundraiser is this Sunday May 22nd, from 3:00 to 5:00 at the Port Jeff Bowling alley. For $20 per person, you can bowl 2 games, and you get soda and pizza. There will also be a Chinese auction. The money is going toward my Eagle Scout project, which is to build some garbage can receptacles for the Chamber of Commerce by the train at the corner of Route 347 and Route 112. I have been away at school, but I’m coming home this week, and I would really appreciate your help. Please let me know if you can make it, so I can give a head count to the bowling alley.
