South Warren Ruritan Club Prepares for Popular Flower Basket Sale
In this Town Talk, Mike McCool sat down with Rick Logan and Chuck Brome from the South Warren Ruritan Club to discuss their annual flower basket fundraiser, a beloved community tradition. This year’s sale is scheduled for May 11th, and the club is excited to offer beautiful hanging baskets sourced from Spring Garden Greenhouse in Singer’s Glen, Virginia.
The South Warren Ruritan Club, known for its commitment to local causes, has a history of successful fundraising events, including its annual spaghetti dinner. While attendance was lower this year due to competing events, the dinner still provided leftover food to the House of Hope and featured a new musical group, Chicken and Dumplings, to entertain guests.
The flower basket fundraiser features 13-inch mixed flowers and 10-inch variety baskets with a single flower variety. Prized for their beauty and quality, these baskets are often snatched up quickly. The sale occurs in the Ramsey Hardware parking lot, with baskets available from around 9 a.m. until they sell out. Prices range from $30 to $45, and the proceeds support local nonprofits such as House of Hope, Blue Ridge Opportunities, and Special Olympics.
The fundraiser allows the community to support worthy causes while enjoying beautiful flower baskets. The South Warren Ruritan Club invites potential volunteers to join their efforts, emphasizing the rewards of community service and camaraderie at their monthly dinner meetings. With a strong tradition of giving, the club looks forward to welcoming new members who share their passion for helping others.
