Brennan's Floral Shop Will Give Away
1,200 FREE Roses for FTD® Good Neighbor Day.

On Wednesday September 7, 2005 residents of Lakewood will have a unique opportunity to meet each other and develop new friendships when Brennan's Floral and Gift Shop hosts the annual FTD Good Neighbor Day event. Begining at 9:00 AM Brennan's Floral Gift Shop at 13396 Madison Avenue, (Corner of Lewis and Madison) will give away 1,200 roses in bunches of a dozen absolutely FREE to anyone who visits the shop, while supplies last.

There is a catch, however. Dan Brennan, the owner of Brennan's Floral Gift Shop hopes the goodwill is exactly that - "catching." We are asking you to make a donation to Lakewood Christian Service Center (LCSC is the hunger center for Lakewood and serves 300 families a month, located at 1412 MArlowe Ave.), and then you will be given a dozen FREE roses. We will ask you to sign a promise to keep one of the roses for yourself and give the others away to 11 different people - spreading the goodwill and friendship and helping others less fortunate in the community.

City Hall employees will meet Brennan's Floral Shop challenge and donate the charity proceeds from the Friday Sept. 9 casual day to the Lakewood Christian Service Center.

Each pay day, City employees may dress down and many make a voluntary contribution to a selected charity.

Tomorrow's charity, for instance, is the Brake 4 Kids safety campaign.

We challenge others to meet the Brennan's challenge as well!
