If I saved $220 this year I would buy 2 new roses - Dick Clark Rose (left) and Chihuly Rose(right). Both roses go through a constant change of colors that no two roses are alike. Dick Clark is a changing pinkish red rose while Chiluly is a yellow/orange colored rose. Both roses are great subject to photograph and to capture their fleeting beauty. These roses will also enhance my rose garden where I hold a fundraising event in the summer with all proceeds going to a charitable organization in my community. This has been a tradition I started 18 years ago. These two beautiful roses will cost me about $40.
For 20 some odd years, I have been involved with the Interreligious and Human Needs Council in Oyster Bay, NY, having served as President in the 90's and the last 18 years of that association, I have also been the Treasurer of the Community Social Action Committee, an arm of the IHNC and in charge of the Holiday Food Drive. Every year, we ask for food donations and cash donations to buy food gift certificates which total $10,000 more or less. Every year, the community answers our call. Last year donation which will be used this year was only $8000 and we have more needy persons to serve this year. Collection this year which will be used next year is very disappointing. So far, we have only received $2,200 so far.
