Sorry for the length of this post. I want to make sure everyone knows what's going on and has a chance to have a say in the flowers we send to the Pelosi's.
______________________________________
The last poll overwhelmingly voted to send Nancy and Paul Pelosi one lovely bouquet of flowers and then contribute the rest to Senator Warnock's campaign. We are using Omaha Steve's DU for Warnock link to contribute: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforwarnock
All contributions through this Thursday will be credited toward the Pelosi fundraising campaign.
I've set up a GoFundMe for donations for the flowers: https://www.gofundme.com/f/flowers-for-nancy-and-paul-pelosi?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1
Please donate when you vote!
The costs of potential flower bouquets range from $89-500 (plus delivery fees and tax). We will send the flowers to her house Thanksgiving week. We got her address from a staffer.
Here are the choices for flower arrangements:
Apples, Peaches, and Pumpkin Pie, Farmgirl Flowers, $89

Gram Cracker, Farmgirl Flowers, $110

Double the firecracker, Urban Stems, $126.

Seasons Cheer, Le Bouquet, $150

Sugar and Spice, San Francisco Flowers, $150.

Technicolor deluxe, Acme Floral, $350

Rich and Dramatic, Acme Floral, $500.

Family Jewels, Le Bouquet, $200

If the vote goes to an arrangement less expensive than the one pictured, we can ask the florist to upgrade it with the extra money and/or donate the rest to the Warnock campaign. Similarly, if we raise less money than the results of the poll, we'll downsize to a less expensive option.

iemanja
(57,387 posts)But the overwhelming number of respondents selected the option to donate to Warnock in addition to sending flowers. Sorry it didn't work out as you preferred. Even $5 donations for flowers would be fantastic.

(57,387 posts)I was also thinking that she could use the flowers as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving.

(57,387 posts)Send most of your donation to Warnock and a smaller amount for the flowers.

(10,542 posts)It just looks like a bouquet of flowers.
I'm still confused as to how to donate for the flowers.
I guess I just donate to the gofundme page.
Thanks for setting this up.
We should do this more frequently to show our appreciation when a (D) does something right or for condolences.
DUer's banded together we could send a lot of flowers.
DUer from San Diego, just Donated

(10,542 posts)How much did we collect?
Let us know which flowers were sent.
In light of yesterday, should collection remain open and maybe another announcement made?
Thanks.
iemanja
(57,387 posts)It shows the flowers we are sending (but we will double them up). That is the arrangement that won the poll. So far, we've raised $4114.22 for DU for Warnock in honor of the Pelosi's.
Thank you for your contributions!
