The Rose Sale for 2019 was a great success and we improved over the last several years. We made over $11,000 to give back to the community through donation requests. We sold over 900 dozen roses with the help of our major sellers which include: William McKinley, Tom Kayser, Sonie Hash, Bob Morton, Sean Sturgill, Bill Gilmore, Mark Hunter and Stan Jennings. We also could not have performed as well as we did this year without our volunteers who made this Rose Sale a success. Every year we have volunteers come in to help sort the roses and to deliver the roses in the local area. I want to thank the following volunteers for their hard work and dedication: William McKinley, Dave Stone, Reece Brown, Harold Massie, Gene Crum, Bob Morton, Mary Arnzen, Ralph Wisniewski, Hope Comer, Dr. John Walker, Sonie Hash, Roberta Duncan, Paige Williams and the Portsmouth Public Library and the SOMC Volunteers.
 
I want to give a special thank you to my co-chair, Sonie Hash, who put a lot of time and energy into making this Rose Sale a success, as she does every year.
 
Once again, our Rotary Rose Sale would not be a success without all of the Rotarians who give so much of their time and energy. So, THANK YOU everyone for your help.
