sale, and many took the opportunity to
pick up a quick Mother’s Day gift.
“It’s going great,” Eichhorn said.
“We’ve had Moose members and construction
workers see the flowers, and
say ‘Oh, I have to get something,’ and
it’s something quick they can grab and
go.”
For Lockport’s Sue Lynch, it was just
one stop on her list for Mother’s Day
weekend with her daughter, Lockport
resident Marissa Stelk.
“She’s got her weekend plans, and this
was just one of the things she wanted to
do,” Stelk said.
Lynch added that she wanted to come
help support the organization and prefers
to buy locally to support them.
Many others came to support the
WOTM, its cause and their friends.
Lockport resident Sherry Walsh recently
rejoined the Lockport Moose Lodge and
purchased a slew of flowers on Saturday
morning to help support LaMontagne
and the WOTM, she said.
“I like doing things with Cathy and
Laura and the Moose,” she said. “We
even donated a horse to Mooseheart.”
LaMontagne said she hopes to continue
to bring more things like the flower
sale to the community and build stronger
membership within the organization as
Senior Regent this year.
“People don’t know what we do, and
we’re trying to attract people and bring
more people into the lodge,” she said.
