A big thank you to everyone in the West Shore community for helping with flowers

Flowers do not jump in the barrels, bloom and grow. It takes a lot of helping hands from the many volunteers to make that happen.

A special thanks to Rainey Schuman and Shirley Harrison for co-chairing this big project. You are both to be commended.

Thanks to Sue Birky, Ed and Sue Repa for their help in preparing the barrels for planting.

Big thanks to Ray Schuman and Dan Benesch for relocating many of the barrels by hand no less.

Also, to the Lakeside Community Club and Friends of Frosty for providing the ingredients to make this all happen. They have never looked so beautiful even in the hot weather.

Plants take a huge amount of water and we thank those faithful volunteers for committing their time to making them beautiful: Sharon Christensen, Joyce Greeve, Margaret Baird, Linda Heim, Kay Hopkins, Barbara Bates, Susan Antley, Ellie Stimpson, Barb Miller, Karen Richardson, Shirley Harrison, Rainey Schuman, Sarah Peck, Sliter’s in Somers, Somers Bay Café, Cindy at the Homestead Cafe, Al, Erin at West Venture Real Estate, and Tyler at the Post Office in Somers.

We enjoy them on our many trips to Lakeside and Somers.

Again, thank you all for your hard work and commitment.

Dale and Lois Lauman,

Lakeside
