Norwalk Lions Club Celebration


I get so caught up in my everyday hum-drum routines and it truly is difficult to think beyond daily chores. My daily schedule consist of: working (at school or with flowers, sometimes both), cooking dinner, sport practices, sport games, getting kids ready for bed, repeat and repeat. Sometimes I feel very robotic and mechanical like the little Energizer Bunny. I "just keep going and going and going." Unfortunately, many of us are like that, trying to accomplish all of our duties and wishing we had more hours in the day.
However, I have many people in my life that keep me grounded and remind me of all the wonderful blessings in our lives. They help me refocus, even if it is only for a little bit at a time, on things that matter but tend to be overlooked.
One of these special individuals, amongst many, is Cee. He is my husband's teammate and our friend of many years. He leads a very busy life, like the rest of us, but finds the time to be very involved in giving back to his community as a member of the Norwalk Lions Club. It is truly very inspiring to see people doing good for others and setting such a wonderful example for the rest of us to follow.
In recognition of all their hard work and dedication, the Norwalk Lions Club celebrated another successful year of community service at their annual banquet. The members were out on the town in their best and finest attire and finished off their look with boutonnieres and corsages created by PB Flowers N More. For the second year in a row, we created white and purple boutonnieres and corsages for their members, which coordinated with their official colors.
We are excited and feel privileged to have provided the personal flowers for such an accomplished organization. Their service to the cities of Norwalk and Pico Rivera, my hometown, is admirable. They strive to make a difference in the lives of people in their communities. We are very proud to be connected to them, not just with flowers but also through friendship. Thanks Lions Club for your contributions to young (Santa Sleigh full of toys) and all (Prom Safety Program). Most importantly thank you for letting us be part of your special recognition night. You all deserve the accolades!
