Morris Lions Club offers online ordering for Mother’s Day roses

The Morris Lions Club is selling tickets to reserve a dozen roses for delivery to local homes in its 39th annual sale for Mothers Day.

The Morris Lions will deliver a dozen red, pink, yellow or mixed-color long-stem roses to those who purchase tickets for a $20 donation.

Rose Chairman Judy Miller said that online ordering is available, and will make life easier for people to place orders from home.

“If I don’t have time during the day or need to look up the street address, it’s easier from home,” Miller said.

This is also a solution for those who no longer live in Morris, but have mothers who still do.

About 200 dozen roses will be delivered from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, May 11, with some deliveries available on Friday, May 10.

To place an order, visit morrislionsclub.com/fundraisers/rose-sale or contact any Morris Lions Club member or call 815-942-6634 to place an order before Wednesday, May 8. The proceeds are used to help the vision impaired and other community projects.
