The Olean Rotary Club's annual chrysanthemum sale is now underway, with pre-orders being accepted through noon on Tuesday, Sept. 3.The mums, grown and supplied by Pleasant Valley Greenhouse and Nursery, are sold in nine-inch pots for $17 each.
A variety of colors are available, including red, white, yellow, bronze, and purple.
These hardy mums are ideal for planting in sunny, dry areas and are likely to return year after year.
Delivery is scheduled for Sept. 9.
To place an order, checks can be mailed to P.O. Box 121, Olean, NY, or customers can connect via the Olean Rotary Club’s Facebook page or through any Rotary Club member.
Payment is due at the time of order and may be made in cash or by check payable to Olean Rotary Club.
Proceeds from the sale support several local Rotary initiatives, including the upcoming Remote Area Medical (RAM) Clinic, and District Grant with Genesis House and Operation Warm Hearts. “Every mum sold helps us bring vital services and support to our neighbors in need. This fundraiser directly fuels our mission of ‘Service Above Self,’” said Paula Bernstein, Area Governor and former Olean Rotary Club President.
Rotary has been an active part of the Olean-area community since 1928. Its members support local businesses and have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes across the region. Recent efforts include mini-grants for teachers in Olean, Hinsdale, and Allegany; providing dictionaries to over 300 third graders; and serving meals to more than 300 local veterans and community members.
