It’s daffodil time again.

The next two weeks will be the last opportunity for presale orders of the American Cancer Society’s daffodils, bouquets of 10 buds that open into huge yellow blossoms. Volunteers have reached workers in schools, banks, hotels, offices, town halls and stores throughout the Island and will return the last week to pick up their orders.
