Flamingos flock to Beech Street
Here's how it works: Pay a fee of either $10 or $15 and under cover of darkness, a Parkrose choir parent will sneak into your friend's yard with a flock of 10 or 15 plastic pink flamingos where they will stay for about 24 hours. The lucky recipient receives explanatory literature and is given the opportunity to purchase 'insurance' against future flockings for $10. Recipients are also encouraged to suggest the next victim of this fundraising prank. Flamingos are removed automatically. No fee is required to have them moved on to greener pastures. The choir will be in New York for a week in May. They will perform in the Lincoln Center, cruise on the Statue of Liberty ferry, visit the Empire State building and see Wicked and Rain on Broadway. Each participating student is responsible for the cost of the trip. To help foot the bill for this adventure, students have sold Christmas wreaths, chocolate and pepperoni sticks. The Michael Allan Harrison Back Home concert in December was a major fundraiser. To plant a flock of flamingos in an unsuspecting friend or neighbor's yard, call or text Deanne Paltridge at 503-504-7734 or Liz Shepard at 503-459-8757. |
