Dorothy Bangs will again be busy as she sells daffodils for the American Cancer Society. She is expecting more than 12,000 bunches of the bright buds to arrive on the Vineyard on St. Patrick’s Day when the pre-sold flowers will be distributed. On March 18 they will be sold at Cronig’s Market and at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital. On March 19 they will be sold at the West Tisbury Post Office and at the Stop & Shop. Please support this very worthy cause. A bunch of daffodils is only $10.
