BOW MAKERS NEEDED!

Have you visited the Raleigh Campus Gift Shop lately and noticed the beautiful plants? Reca Davis, Manager, Retail Services, says that the Gift Shop sells approximately 100 plants a week. A new service has been developed and includes volunteers who are individually making each bow for every plant. The service has resulted in a more pleasing presentation of the plants and has had a positive impact on sales. Reca says she now has an assortment of bows to choose from each week that matches each plant. Additional Bowmakers are needed to assist with this fun and unique service. We will teach you how to make the bows and will and provide the materials. You can do from the comfort of your home if you prefer! Please contact Marie or Jackie at 350-8293 for more information.
