UPDATE 2026-08-12:
We've changed the minimum order to ONE plant! So you can now order a single plant to be delivered to anyone you wish: your friend, your neighbour, your "mum" ;-). Orders still open!

******************************************************

Growing Kindness 🌼

Share a mum. Share a smile.

Gather your coworkers, friends, family, or club members and start a Thanksgiving tradition!

Here's how it works:

🌼 Form a group of 5 or more
📝 Everyone orders a $20 Thanksgiving mum
💌 Write a short message
🎁 Rotary secretly matches everyone
🚚 We deliver each mum and card before Thanksgiving

No pickups. No organizing. Just a wonderful surprise waiting at the door.

Every mum purchased helps support Rotary projects in our community.

🍂 Throwback Thursday! 🍂

For years, our Mums for Thanksgiving campaign has been helping people brighten someone's day with a surprise delivery of beautiful fall mums. ❤️

This year, there are two great ways to share kindness:
🌼 Send a mum to a friend, neighbour, family member, teacher, or colleague.
🤝 Join our NEW Mums Exchange! Sign up with a group of five or more, and Rotary will secretly match everyone so each participant both sends and receives a surprise mum and personal message.

Let's make someone's Thanksgiving a little brighter. 💛

You heard it straight from our city's mayor, Mark Sutcliffe, himself: spread kindness by sending flowers! And we've made it really easy....

Send flowers to someone you love this Thanksgiving with our campaign! Visit https://rcwo.org/page/2026-rotary-mums-for-thanksgiving-campaign to order your chrysanthemums by August 10 - and we'll deliver them, with your personal note, this fall. You're supporting local projects for women, families, and children, too!

Well when it rains heavily during an Ironman, the volunteers get wet too! Today is drying out day. The downpour just added to the memorable experience!!

We were able to deliver the leftover fruit and snacks from our Aid Station at Ironman to our Club member's food rescue organization for distribution to those in need. Thank you Ironman!
