Daffodils on the Way

American Cancer Society volunteers are pre-selling bouquets of daffodils at various Island locations as part of an annual fund-raising effort. The bouquets cost $10 and will be delivered in March. Proceeds from the sales support cancer research, programs and services, including free transportation from Woods Hole to areas of the Cape, and free nights of housing in Boston for those who must travel for cancer treatments.

Presold bouquets will be delivered Tuesday, March 20. The following day, bunches of daffodils will be available for public sale at Cronig’s Market in Vineyard Haven and at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital. Additional cash donations may be used to distribute bouquets to the hospital, nursing homes and senior centers. More information is available by calling volunteer Dorothy Bangs at 508-693-0969 or the American Cancer Society at 800-227-2345
