The Natchitoches Lions Club was unable to secure roses for its annual Orin Foster Memorial Mother’s Day Rose sale. The club’s supplier reported that along with labor problems due to Covid there were also weather problems. Club members are so thankful for the support of this fundraiser through the years and look forward to normalcy next year. Since 1982 this has been a major fundraiser for the club. Thanks to the entire community for supporting this project the past 39 years. The Rose Sale will be back next year.
This event always makes me remember fondly Dr. Raymond Gilbert, may he rest in peace. He was my rose connection. He would drop by my classroom every year to sell me those pretty hothouse roses that kept me out of the hothouse with my wife on Mother’s Day/her birthday. 💐
