Mid-Illinois Senior Services Creates and Sells Memorial Day Arrangements
The Mid-Illinois Senior Services in Sullivan has been making artificial flower arrangements for graves for around ten years. The majority of the requests come in around Memorial Day. They make saddles, baskets, bricks and cones. Around 80% of the artificial flowers that are used are donated to them. Proceeds from the sales of these arrangements go towards Mid-Illinois Senior Services. “We all really love doing this and it’s a group effort,” Nancy Ozee said.
