SPREADING GOODWILL THROUGH 12,000 ROSES

Celebrating Our 9 th Annual Good Neighbor Day on Wednesday, September 7th

Chicago (August 31, 2005) Ashland Addison Florist Company is thrilled to announce the distribution of 12,000 roses around the Chicagoland area this Wednesday, September 7, 2005. However, the free flowers come with a catch: people who accept a FREE bouquet of roses also accept the responsibility to keep one rose for themselves and hand the others out to neighbors, passers-by or to make new friends. The effort is a part of FTD florists’ Good Neighbor Day holiday and Ashland Addison Florist Company joins thousands of florists around the country to spread good feelings through roses.

“The message we are spreading is beyond taking time to smell the roses,” says Bill Sheffield, president of Ashland Addison Florist. “The roses work as a symbol to remind people of the great feelings you get from doing something nice for someone – whether it be a stranger or your next door neighbor.”

Ashland Addison Florist Company has been participating in the event for nine consecutive years, and Good Neighbor Teams will be found handing out 12,000 beautiful roses around Chicagoland at el stations, and on the Magnificent Mile. Plus, two of the florist’s four retail locations will be distributing rose bouquets sporadically throughout the day including at the NEW location, O’Brien The Florist at 43 Arlington Heights Road in Elk Grove Village, and the Ashland Addison location in the Galter Pavilion at Northwestern Hospital at 201 East Huron.

“What a perfect time for Good Neighbor Day this year. Hopefully, on Wednesday, September 7 th, Ashland Addison Florist Company will help people in our community spread a few smiles around Chicagoland,” says Sheffield.

** Request the full list of distribution locations for the 12,000 FREE roses from Ashland Addison Florist Company at bridget@ashaddflorist.com.
