Please help the Rotary Club of Little Falls in their efforts to fill the planters and hanging baskets for our Main Street in Little Falls, and if Rotary is really successful in their efforts, we can fill hanging baskets for the Burke Bridge (Rt. 167 Arterial Bridge) too.

For years a Little Falls beautification committee did a wonderful job soliciting donations, purchasing the flowers and hanging baskets and placing them throughout the city. We no longer have that committee and the City of Little Falls cannot take on this added financial burden at this time.

So, we are turning to the good folks of the Little Falls Alumni Association to help us rescue and support this good cause. Rotary has a limited budget for this project and will need your help. If you have been in Little Falls in the summer months recently you will recall how beautiful the ground planters and hanging baskets looked. We estimate the cost of the flowers for the large planters, and the cost of the hanging baskets to be $50.00 each.

We are accepting donations of any amount from those that spent many years in our beautiful city and hold fond memories of their years growing up and walking along our Main Street. $50.00 would be wonderful and if you are in a position to write a larger check and underwrite a larger amount and we collect enough, it will go into a separate account for future years’ needs. You can make your checks out to the Rotary Club of Little Falls, and put “beautification” in the memo line. Please send checks to The Rotary Club of Little Falls, PO Box 181, Little Falls, NY 13365.

Please take the time to do one more thing, although this is not required. Write a special memory that you have of growing up in Little Falls, or you can recognize a person’s name you are honoring with your donation. With your permission we would like to list your name and your memory or person’s name in a later edition of the Little Falls Post.
