Donations sought for floral tribute fund

Many years ago, a fund made up of employee voluntary contributions was established for the purpose of sending a memorial tribute when a death occurs in the immediate family of a current University employee.  No other funds are available for this purpose and, over the years, UND employees have responded promptly and generously when the appeal for donations has been issued. At this time, the fund balance is at zero, and we are asking for your contributions. A $5-$10 donation is suggested. If you pay by check, make payable to: UND Floral Tribute Committee.  Please send to: President’s Office, Attn: Floral Memorial Fund, Stop 8193 or drop off in the President’s Office (Twamley Hall, Room 300).

Although the original Faculty-Staff Memorial Committee policy specified that flowers be sent, recent practice has been to send a green plant. Supervisors are asked to contact the President’s Office at 777-2121 with the pertinent information when a death occurs. If the funeral is out of state or not in the immediate vicinity, a plant will be sent to the employee’s workplace.

Your participation is appreciated.
