The annual poinsettia and wreath sale sponsored by the Women of the University Community (WUC) is underway now. Florist grade poinsettias come in two sizes and three colors: pink, white, and red. Evergreen door wreaths are 20" wide and made from balsam fir boughs.

Order plants this week and pick them up November 30 at Drumlins. For order forms and more details, go to http://wuc.syr.edu/poinsettia%20flyer.pdf.
