DEP's Flamingo Fundraiser

Get PINKED for Education! (0.00 / 0)

Thanks for the support Eileen!  The fundraiser is actually by the Dedham Education Foundation (DEF, not DEP), but DEP is very supportive of the effort!  Flyers with information are being circulated, but for those wondering, for $25 you can send a flock of bright pink plastic flamingos to an unsuspecting neighbor.  For $15 you can purchase "Anti-Flock Insurance" to guarantee that they don't roost on your lawn or return multiple times!  Contact Denise Connell, 781-727-3030, connells5@gmail.com or Mary Ellen McDonough, 781-223-5813, MEM@MaryEllenMcDonough.com, to place your Flamingo Order!  Check them out on the elementary shcool lawns today.

Nothing's too tacky for the DEF! (0.00 / 0)

In case any of you were wondering, this is what was being referred to last week when you were encouraged to Think Pink!

And this is what your front lawn might look like some morning when you open the door to get the paper:

 

This was a great idea and it will be interesting to see which lawns these pink wonders end up on over the course of the month.  Call in the Kitsch for Kids Tour!

[Random piece of triva: While the real things might prefer more tropical climates, the plastic versions were invented in Leominster.]

Flew the Coop (0.00 / 0)

The flamingos were on Adams St. yesterday but they are gone today. Does anybody know where they went?

A co-worker of mine wanted to check them out. But they look like they flew the coop. Has anybody seen them? Thanks

Flew the Coop (0.00 / 0)

They only stay with you for 24 hours.  Then they find a new home somewhere else!  Keep your eye out.
