The plants will be delivered to a local business or residence address the week before Thanksgiving or they may be picked up by special arrangement on October 4th and 5th .  This is a fundraiser that benefits many projects and activities within our community.  

Plants are presold by Rotary members or online https://cornwallsunriserotary.com/  Purchases can also be made by sending an email to our Rotary email address rotaryclubofcornwallsunrise@gmail.com  or sending a private message using our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RotaryClubofCornwallSunrise . For a more personal approach, a phone call or email to an individual Rotarian is suggested. Any Sunrise Rotarian will be happy to assist. 

This is our oldest fundraising activity! The Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise was chartered in January 1989 and we delivered the first ‘mums for Thanksgiving to friends and businesses in Cornwall the week before Thanksgiving 1989 (35 years ago). These beautiful chrysanthemums of assorted fall colours come in 6” pots with a coloured foil wrap. Although we try to accommodate special requests, we cannot promise that recipients will receive flowers of a specific colour.
