2026 Buddy Poppy Days
Volunteer Signup Needed
URGENT. URGENT. URGENT!!!
We need volunteers to sign up for poppy days!
Our annual Buddy poppy day solicitation will take place from Wednesday May 20 through Sunday May 24. There are 290 slots available. We currently have only 40 filled! This only works with your participation. We need volunteers to fill the shifts at the various stores. The signup sheet can be found at:

Please sign up for a shift or several if possible. Enlist friends and family. The success of our Buddy Poppy campaign depends directly on the level of participation of our members. This is our largest fundraiser of the year and we need your help to make this happen. There are 290 slots this year. Please consider more than one.
Note: thanks to Lynn Lowder, we have added slots at Rosie’s Home Cookin’ at their new location. They are available on the signup sheet now.
As before, supplies will be available for pickup in the conference room on the lower level, starting the first week of May. Please be sure to get your poppies and collection jug in advance of your shift. Plan to collect your supplies at a time when the canteen is open. Take a collection jug and one bag of poppies per two-hour shift (each bag contains 150 poppies).
