Remember to RSVp to the Re-Scheduled Bulb Planting Favors event at the Norwell Public Library from 1-3 on Sunday October 21 st.  Thank you.

DUE TO THE RAIN, TODAY’S EVENT NEEDS TO BE CANCELED.  WE WILL TRY FIND A DAY IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE TO GET ALL THOSE BULBS PLANTED!  STAY DRY!

Hello everyone – hopefully the weather will push out today so we will be able to have our Favors event tomorrow that the Kiernan family has organized.  Check your email  for cancelation and a rescheduled date tomorrow morning.

If we are able to move ahead with the bulb planting please bring with you gloves, trowls, shovels – anything that could help planting the bulbs.

I am thinking positively and saying see you at the Norwell Public Library at 12:30 pm tomorrow.

Enjoy the rainy day!

Hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and welcome FALL!  The Kiernan family has the bulbs to beautify the Norwell Public Library for next spring.  We will be planting bulbs around the library from 12:30-2 pm on Sunday September 30.  Please RSVP to the event at southshorefavors.org.

Even though its arrival is late I want to extend a special thank you to the Murphy family for organizing the Favors event at Magical Moon.  A number of families showed up at the Magical Moon foundation ready for anything on that rainy Sunday.  Donna Greene – owner and founder – was ready to get us moving.  This by far was the most emotional and touching event we have been involved in thus far and I am so greatful to have been a part of it.  The Magical Moon foundation is an extrodinary place for children battling life threatening diseases.  We learned about the 24 kids that are currently involved with the program, their accomplishments and their drive to perservere.  Everyone was touched that attended – kids were asking when they can return and signing up to volunteer – truly a Magical place.   Thank you Donna for allowing us to volunteer.  I look forward to going back and helping out again.

Thank you also to the Campbell family for hosting the last Favors event for Habitat for Humanity in Norwell.  A number of families showed up at the Campbell home to prepare a picnic lunch and paint chairs to be delivered to the site during their lunch break.  Those who were able to attend were given a tour of the house and were able to meet our new neighbors, Melinda Kneeland and her daughter Alexis.  The food and the chairs were much appreciated and knowing that as a group we were able to help our neighbor felt good.

The Kiernan family is due to host the next event on September 30th, we will be planting bulbs for the beautification committee in Norwell.  Details to follow, hope everyone can come.  Remember to RSVP.

We also have had a request to help out at the Granite Academy in Braintree.  Our friend Norm Schmidt volunteers his time at the school for middle and high school aged students who have emotional issues that complicate their learning.  Norm created a peaceful garden for the students to escape to and it currently has some benches that need sanding and refinishing – a perfect job for our Favors crew.  This can either be an extra Favors event or one of our host families could take it on.  Let me know October hosts if you are interested…

Enjoy the pictures and look forward to seeing you all soon!  Happy Fall!
