What a wonderful, generous thing for you to donate the flowers for the 3day walk! The pink ribbon we created was an awesome sight for everyone! Very inspirational...I am attaching a few pictures from the display. Again, many thanks!

The flowers were beautiful - I have never seen so many flowers in my life!!! I was on the Camp Services Crew so I was lucky enough to help put the arrangements together. I have never done this before, but with the great variety and quantity of flowers it wasn't too difficult to make a nice arrangement. Attached is one of my creations! :) Thank you so much for the generous donations to help make our dining tent smell so fresh and look so beautiful. With all those beautiful flowers we didn't even notice how sweaty and smelly all of us were. Thanks again for adding that extra special touch!

Victor,

I want to thank you and any others responsible for getting the flowers for the 3 day. GREAT JOB!! Never have I seen such a display!! I was on crew this year and had the pleasure of helping you clean and arrange the flowers. This was my third year participating in the 3-day, and each year they just keep getting more and more beautiful!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

p.s. If there is anything that I can do to help in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me. I do have some basic skills of flower arranging and would be willing to help whenever necessary. Any thought that maybe next year, we should start cleaning and arranging Thursday afternoon after crew day? I am undecided whether I'm crewing or walking Michigan next year, but would be happy to be available Thurs to help.... Once again - GREAT JOB!!

I want to thank you for one of the most beautiful gifts we have ever had at the Michigan Breast Cancer 3 day.

This was my 7th event in Michigan and I have enjoyed pretty flowers there before, but this year was awesome. The flowers were so beautiful and displayed in amazing ways. The fragrence in the tent was fabulous (loved the lilys) and it sure did help after the way we returned to camp in the heat! What an incredible view from the back of the dining tent to see all the bouquets on the poles and displayed across all the tables. It was breathtaking!

The "vases" were so cool too. Who would have thought 3 water bottles tied together with pink ribbon would look so amazing with roses in them? The sunflowers were so cheerful and heartening after those long miles. There was a pretty little vase with the most beautiful white tulips I ever saw, especially in 93 degrees. The little rose "trees" in the big cans were also a hit. My head was turning the whole time going "oooh look at those and wow, look at these"!

I was a crew member this year and after spending a 10 hour day in the sun I can't tell you thank you enough for the beauty that surrounded us. It was incredible and peaceful, and awe inspiring (how did you keep them so fresh?). As a former walker, I can thank you for the big pink ribbon because it sure feels good to add your flower to the ribbon as a mark of success. I know it must have meant a lot to this year's walkers too.

I wish these two words could convey all I would like them to. If my soul could, it would sing with gratitude. The spirit of the 3 day was in each flower, blossoming with strength and beauty and blending its individual beauty just as each walker and crew member blended their uniqueness to support each other for 3 days and 60 miles. You filled our senses and touched our hearts. I am very grateful. Thank you, Thank you!
