To the editor:
    Each year volunteers in Aroostook County work to make the American Cancer Society’s Daffodil Days a great success! On behalf of the American Cancer Society I would like to thank the many local individuals, businesses, and organizations for their eagerness to help. In particular, thanks go to the many volunteers who wrapped, delivered, and sold flowers in the community.
    More than $9,000 was raised in Aroostook County to improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their families right here in our community. Once again, Hannaford stores generously supported the campaign by selling bouquets of daffodils and donating all of the proceeds to the American Cancer Society.
    Daffodil Days, like many of the Society’s fund raising campaigns, is volunteer-driven. During Daffodil Days volunteers prepared, delivered, and purchased bouquets. Every volunteer was dedicated to helping support the American Cancer Society’s vital research, education, advocacy, and patient programs and services. Thanks again to everyone! I hope to see you during Daffodil Days 2009!
