Thank you to our 50
student volunteers
and over 40 citizen-based
volunteers who made
this project so successful.
Thank you to
Tres Café for providing muffins, coffee and juice
for our volunteers during the planning and planting process.
The “Garden Spot”
truly lived up to its name during the 2006 summer season with the
amazing floral display in the beautiful baskets and planters in the
Downtown Canby core and around Wait Park. The hanging & potted
flowers also served as a “floral billboard” to show a healthy,
thriving business core and served as a backdrop for our summer
concert series and community activities. Our hometown pride really
showed not only for our residents, but also to our visitors and
prospective businesses.
The numerous letters of praise and
support for the program that appear in the Herald throughout the
year's are a boost to everyone involved with the baskets. Thank you
to everyone in the community who went out of their way to give such
wonderful compliments in written notes or in person.
“A
special thank you to the Agatha Andrus Memorial Flower Basket Fund”
The committee
would also like to acknowledge the Andrus family for contributing to
the project by establishing the Flower Basket Project Fund in honor
of Agatha Andrus. Contributions to the fund will help to continue
the Flower Basket program and can be made through the Canby Chamber.
For Downtown businesses who would like to continue the floral color
continuity at their store fronts, you can order baskets through Bev Doolittle at the Canby Chamber
503-266-4666.
If you have an
interest in volunteering for the
upcoming installation of this year's baskets, please contact
JillMarie Wiles or 503-263-4747.
The 2006 Flower
Basket Project was embraced with enthusiasm, support and outstanding
volunteerism. The committee would like to recognize that the success
of this program is directly related to the pride that Canby citizens
feel for their town. The baskets have become more than just
beautiful flowers planted in downtown. They are a symbol of what
makes Canby a community, a place where we all work, live and play.
THANK YOU CANBY!
