This week’s bouquets go to:

From the Gladstone Rapid River Kiwanis:

The Gladstone Rapid River Kiwanis wish to thank the many people that made it possible to put on their annual chicken barbeque — especially the Gladstone and Rapid River Key Clubs, and the volunteers who braved the smoke and rain to barbeque the 732 chicken halves. At the end of the day there we no meals left over. Thank you to those who bought tickets to make this fundraiser possible to help so many children in our area. Hope to see you all again next year.

Each Saturday the Daily Press salutes individuals and groups from our area who have had a very positive impact on the way we live.

We identify our bouquet recipients in one of two ways: from Daily Press news pages and from nominations sent in by our readers.

Mail us a postcard or letter identifying your nomination and putting into detail what they’ve done. Include your name, address, and phone number. Send nominations to Saturday Bouquets, The Daily Press, 600 Ludington Street, Escanaba, MI 49829.

They may also be sent to us by going to our Web site, www.dailypress.net, and clicking on the submit news button. Once there, click on “Bouquets” and follow the simple instructions.
