Fundraising

One of the fundamental goals of the club is to make the cost of participation for our members to be as affordable as possible so as to not make it cost prohibitive for everyone to join and participate FULLY.

To make that possible and keep membership costs down, fundraising is a key part of life in the club. All members are encouraged to join in on all of the fundraising activities so we can share the load and share the joy of this key club activity.

Below are some of the details about the various ways that we fundraise and how members can join in.

Dragon Wing Begonias & Geraniums

This is our largest and most successful annual project. Our members sell the begonias to family, friends, and neighbours. We start selling around the beginning of March and delivery is around the second weekend in May. After a number of years selling only the Dragon Wing Begonias, last year we introduced the sale of Geraniums as well. Since the Geraniums were popular with many people we have included them in this years fundraiser as well.

We source the begonias and geraniums from a fantastic grower that delivers them to a couple of distribution locations within the Ottawa area where they can be picked up by those that purchase them or we can arrange local delivery as well.
