18^th Annual WOC Plant Sale

The annual plant sale, Waimea Outdoor Circle’s major event of the year is scheduled for Saturday, April 4^th. This year’s venue will again be the Thelma Parker Gymnasium in Waimea during the final weekend of spring break.

Plant chair, Dodie Zuke, reports that twenty-four vendors from all over the Island will have their finest plants available for sale. Great care has been taken to have a wide variety of prime plants available. The emphasis this year is on native plants that will grow well in our Waimea environment.

In order to conduct a truly successful sale, Ken Block, chair of the volunteers, has put out a call for “all hands” to help. We need volunteers to help with many tasks during the set-up day, Friday the 3^rd, and even more for the sale day, Saturday the 4^th! Volunteers are needed: to assist in setting up; to take the pre-sale inventory; to oversee parking; to provide crowd control and security; to greet customers; to work in the plant holding area; to pre-check customer’s purchases; to cashier; to conduct the post-sale inventory and, of course, to help with the inevitable “clean-up!”

Note: All volunteers are eligible to attend the fabulous “Friday night pre-sale!” Avoid the crowds, get first pick of this season’s plants! Volunteer today! WOC is “an equal opportunity organization: you don’t have to be a member and most positions do not require prior experience! Try it, you’ll like it!
