Royer’s stores collecting ‘Holiday Mail for Heroes’ Nov. 17-Dec. 5
Royer’s Flowers & Gifts and the American Red Cross are teaming up this year to deliver “Holiday Mail for Heroes.”
From Nov. 17 through Dec. 5, Royer’s stores will collect holiday cards and coloring pages that will be delivered to patients at the Lebanon VA Medical Center. Red Cross volunteers will organize the cards and tie them with ribbons for hand delivery to the veterans.
Cards may be dropped off during normal business hours.
The Red Cross, which created the national “Holiday Mail for Heroes” program, offers these guidelines for preparing cards:
• Include messages of support and thanks;
• Use generic salutations such as “Dear Service Member” as cards addressed to specific individuals can not be delivered through this program;
• Don’t include letters or inserts such as photos;
• Don’t include email or home addresses on the cards: the program is not meant to foster pen pal relationships;
• Sign your name to them;
• Refrain from choosing cards with glitter as it can aggravate health issues of ill and injured warriors.
Coloring pages are available at all Royer’s stores or can be downloaded here, courtesy of Coloring-Page.net:
Santa’s workshop has nothing on our central design department
But for movies and TV specials, we don’t see much of what goes on in Santa’s workshop. The North Pole is pretty far away, after all.
Anyway, it’s closer to Royer’s corporate complex in Lebanon, which includes our offices, distribution center, greenhouses. It’s also home to our own workshop — central design — where dozens of our elves are busy decorating poinsettias and other plants, and handcrafting thousands of holiday arrangements in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
Consider this photo tour our gift to you!
Use hairspray to preserve your holiday wreath
A natural Christmas tree eventually loses its needles, but giving it daily drinks of water will dramatically slow the process.
Unfortunately, you can’t do the same with a natural Christmas wreath.
But here’s the next-best thing: seal in the wreath’s moisture using hairspray, which acts like glue and holds the needles on.
To avoid any messes, do the spraying before you hang the wreath on a door, window or wall.
The result will be a wreath that looks shiny, green and full throughout the holiday season.
