Looking for a unique gift to give a loved one in a nursing home or hospital? How about a ‘thank you’ for a great Thanksgiving meal, or for a special teacher during the holidays? The Zonta Club of Austin may have the answer.
The Austin Zonta Club is having a fundraiser at Sterling State Bank through Nov. 18 by selling wooden rose arrangements. According to Zonta members, the arrangements are made using wooden roses that look so real, you have to touch them to be sure.
The group has small and large arrangements for sale, or you can pick up one or a dozen roses with your choice of colors.
Zonta Club of Austin has various fundraisers all year and proceeds are donated to the Austin community. This year, donations have been given for educational classes, to the Red Cross, The ARC of Mower County, March of Dimes, Young Woman in Public Affairs and Relay for Life.
