Saskatoon, February 13, 2012 - The Lung Association of Saskatchewan encourages you to celebrate Leap Year with a Breath of Spring! On February 28 and 29, The Lung Association of Saskatchewan is delivering bunches of fresh cut tulips to those businesses that have placed orders by the February 17 deadline. Flowers will also be available to purchase at all three Saskatoon hospitals on February 29.
The Breath of Spring Tulip Campaign is a great volunteer opportunity and takes only a few hours of time. "We could not execute a campaign of this magnitude without a strong compliment of volunteers," states Pam Jansen, Campaign Coordinator. "We depend on our volunteers to process and deliver orders to Saskatoon businesses, to sell the flowers at the hospitals, and to collect orders at your place of work."
It is not too late to get involved. Please volunteer your time to help make this campaign a tremendous success! For more information please call 651-3347 or visit us at www.sk.lung.ca/tulips.
