Save the Azalea's Fundraiser

"Save the Azalea" tote bags are available for purchase!  The bags can be obtained through Arbor House gift shop located at the US National Arboretum.  A $5 donation per bag is requested but please feel generous as the money goes to the US National Arboretum trust fund, organized and administered by Friends of the National Arboretum (FONA).  The trust is to provide an endowment for mantaining the USNA plant collections--azaleas, boxwood, narcissus, etc.  Community support for the azalea collection among others at the Arboretum is tremendous.  FONA is trying to raise $1M to match the very generous anonymous donation of $1M made in February to the Arboretum.  http://www.culturaltourismdc.org/news-room/news/generous-gift-national-arboretum-saves-azaleas 
To obtain bags contact Mary Beth Cecil paid4bymyson@aol.com or 301-868-2224 or Casey Kneipp  kcandave@verizon.net 301-772-3946
