TOT Plantings Worldwide! on January 1, 2009
If you already have joined the Facebook Tulips on Troost CAUSE, you maybe already know this. If you haven't already joined....what's the matter with you? Go sign up now and then recruit all your Facebook friends and mysterious persons.
We need to know SOON how many of you are going to sign up to VOLUNTEER for our Annual New Year's Day Tulip Plantings. Because only if you tell us SOON, can we be sure to have enough tulip bulbs on hand for each of you to plant your one square foot of tulips.
Yep, that's all we ask of you on New Year's Day. One Square Foot. Even those of you who don't know how to dress properly for the cold temp can handle that.
Send us an email today (durwinrice@durwinrice.com) or call (816) 812-8530 to sign up to help. We'll meet at the New Hoboken Capitol Building at 10AM, Thursday, January 1, 2009....4518 Troost Avenue.
If you CAN'T be with us in KC, you CAN still support the TOT reclamation of Troost Avenue by donating $5 (provided you are a Facebook TOT Cause member) to save a square foot of Troost's tulips OR by planting tulips in your own garden on New Year's Day...it will warm us up to know you're out there doing that! OR, donate $10 and we'll send you 10 tulip bulbs for your at home New Year's Day planting event.
Cyber Monday & the New Year's Day TOT Tulip Planting Locations
Today (December 1, 2008) just happens to be Cyber Monday and that leaves us just one month before our annual New Year's Day tulip planting event on January 1, 2009.
We know, we know....you were told that you can't plant tulips after the ground freezes but the truth is you can...okay, it's a little bit more difficult but what good thing in your life doesn't toss you a few good challenges?
And, since it's Cyber Monday, we'll contribute a tulip for every dollar spent in our online store between today and January 1st, 2009!
It's never been so easy for you to contribute to the Tulip Project.
How many tulips we plant on January 1st is, of course, now up to the Fates or the Furies so our planting location(s) list may grow. But, for now, if you want to help, volunteer to plant or just bring us a cup of hot cocoa we're planning to start the day's events at the gravesite of Dr. Benoist Troost in Kansas City, MO.
