Daffodil Days spark creativity
Bennett Lopez (right) shares his painted vase with Anu Singh in Sharri Makoff's first-grade class at Argonaut School. His vase and others like it will later be filled with freshly cut daffodils as part of Daffodil Days, the American Cancer Society's annual fundraiser, in which donors purchase various sizes of daffodil arrangements for themselves, friends and family members, or as Gifts of Hope. The students' vases will become Gifts of Hope, which ACS volunteers deliver to medical centers and cancer treatment centers for free distribution to patients. Volunteers will be taking orders for Daffodil Days bouquets from Jan. 28 to March 4. More volunteers are always welcome for taking orders and delivering flowers. For more information, call 408.879.1032, press 3 and ask for extension 250.
