Add a dash of class to the holidays: Order a poinsettia from the Satellites Auxiliary.
The poinsettias range in price from $5 to $15 and are available in a variety of colors, including red, white, pink, and blue with gold. The plants vary in size from 4.5 inches to 7.5 inches and by the number of blooms.
Fresh wreaths measuring 14 inches also are available for $10.
“Our primary purpose is to provide simple décor and elegance for the holiday season for our campuses and homes,” Lynn Brand, president of the Satellites, said. “We keep your costs quite low, and the small amount of profits benefit our scholarships for the College of Medicine and Life Sciences, the College of Nursing, and the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.”
Order forms must be received by Wednesday, Nov. 23. Fax to 419.383.3206, drop off to Volunteer Services in Dowling Hall Room 75, or email lynn.brand@utoledo.edu.
