Annual Mother’s Day Geranium Sale announced:
The Jacksonville Sunrise Rotary Clubs announces its annual Mother’s Day Geranium Sale, which will run through May 1. Those interested in purchasing red geraniums may contact any member of the club to place an order. Club members will deliver purchased geraniums on or after May 13.
