Make Valentine's Day extra grand by helping out two local organizations
Roses are the Valentine's Day flowers of choice. Other options include tulips, which also represent love. by Mike Yoder
Remember the days when the student council raised money with your heart's fickle desires — delivering Valentine's Day roses for a $1 a pop to the boy or girl of your teenage dream(s)?
Wasn't that grand? (And embarrassing, and awesome, and insulting and totally romantic?)
These days you can do similar romantic/sweeping/mortifying gestures, whether you've graduated or not.
Both Lawrence High and KJHK have Valentine's Day expression doosies for those of you who want to send more than flowers:
- Lawrence High's orchestra is raising funds with its annual "Serenade Your Sweetheart" drive. For $25, you can have your own personal string ensemble play a love song at home or work on Feb. 14. Your lucky valentine also gets a rose with the song. For more information, contact Rachel Dirks, LHS orchestra director at 330-1890.
- KJHK will share personal Valentine's Day messages all day Feb. 14 on air. For $5 your message will be read, twice for $9 or three times for $12. Bonus: All you have to do is fill out a form and pay by noon Feb. 13 and that's that.
