Spring Bulb Fundraiser

It has been a long hot summer but before you know it, fall will be here and you will be thinking of planting flower bulbs for spring. If you are planning on planting flower bulbs this fall, the Women of St. James' Parish will be taking orders for Dutch Mill Bulbs from August 23 through September 30. The profit from this fundraiser will go to the Outreach projects of the Women of St. James' Parish.

A representative of the Women of St. James' will be available to take orders during the coffee hours; the bulbs will be delivered to St. James' by mid October. Be sure to come by and see the color brochure showing the flower bulbs that are available. For more information, please contact Kelly Richard at amcraftworks@aol.com.
