Fundraiser committee prepares flower bulbs for first JWA fundraiser

Paperwhite bulbs and amaryllis bulbs from The Terra Ceia Farms in Pantego, N.C. were sold this fall by JWA members in support of the first JWA fundraiser. All proceeds benefited the Boys & Girls Clubs of Pitt County. Children at the Boys & Girls Club decorated gift tags that were attached to each item sold.
