The county’s top junior high spellers were eighth-grader Alisha Chakravarty of Turlock Junior High School and seventh-grader Gurbaani Pannu of Prescott Junior High School. They will compete in the state bee in San Rafael. The alternate is seventh-grader Amay Parmar of Prescott. Some of the words they nailed: sacrilegious, deleterious, supercilious and magnanimity. The Stanislaus County Education Foundation and the county Office of Education put on the bees. Foster Farms aids Paradise Foster Farms donated $25,000 worth of its cooked chicken products to families affected by the massive Camp Fire in Paradise.

Flower shops spring back to life ahead of Mother’s Day after state lifts restrictions - The Boston Globe

Florist Tiffany Day shopped for flowers for her shop Petals By The Day in Westwood at the New England Exchange in Chelsea on Thursday.David L. Ryan/Globe StaffPat Riccardi spent his teens walking the streets of Somerville in the 1970s, peddling bouquets to make an extra buck as a high school and college student. But it took his father asking him to help out during the Valentine’s Day grind of 1980 to fully ensnare him in the family flower business. Forty years later, he and his brother own it.Yet the coronavirus brought Riccardi Wholesale Flowers to its knees when customers called en masse to cancel wedding and Easter orders. The busiest time of the year withered away.“All the orders that were supposed to go out from March 23rd onward, which would have been church and wedding work, just sat in our refrigerator for us to eat. If we couldn’t donate it, we threw it away,” said Riccardi, pained just thinking about the discarded blooms.AdvertisementBut a tired proverb proved true: April sho... https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/05/07/nation/after-months-empty-shelves-closed-shops-florists-spring-back-life-ahead-mothers-day-surge/

Local florists and restaurants work against shortages for Mother's Day - Desert Sun

Amid coronavirus, these are all still options but there are supply challenges some local businesses face this year. *There is confusion of whether florists are essential in cities and counties  and some are offering curbside pickups and contactless deliveries, but they're also dealing with a global supply issue and are notifying customers that arrangements might have to include substitutions. Jordan Hall, a member of the Hall family that owns Palm Springs Florist, said global wholesalers have supply chains to all continents and it's affected everyone, but they have been able to order what they need to make it through Mother's Day."Our ability to order flowers normally has become unavailable or slowed, but we've been in business for so long and have such a large supply source that we've been able to piece together what we need," Hall said. "If we were to go through one of the standard wholesalers, they might not have everything. It's going to affect all flower shops, especially the smaller ones who might not have the same type of business revenue and don't have the same resources." Hall added that events such as El Niño, a monsoon or early summer rains can cause supply interruptions, but nothing on this scale has h... https://www.desertsun.com/story/life/2020/05/06/local-florists-and-restaurants-work-against-shortages-mothers-day/3082359001/

I’m a New York bride who had to cancel her wedding 6 days before it was supposed to happen. We’ve rescheduled, but the financial and emotional stress hasn’t gone away. - Business Insider

We wanted to recoup as much as possible, so we opted for the next available Friday, which is July 17. South Gate is a big family business – the caterer’s sister is his florist, his brother is a photographer – so that made the transition easier. There were just a lot of phone calls and a little bit of juggling to make sure all of the vendors could transfer their services to that date. The limos, the DJ, and basically everyone else involved were able to make the switch. Our officiant was the only missing piece – we’ll have to make a change there – but overall there wasn’t major damage. Some of our flowers were already in transit, so the florist had to accept at least half upon delivery. We had 300 blush roses in our house for days; I was giving them away to friends, neighbors, anyone who would take them. captionSome of the blush roses that it was too late to return..sourceCourtesy photo That portion of the flowers ($1,500) and the officiant fee ($500) were a complete loss. I put off estimating our overall losses for a month, basically thinking “it is what it is,” but after adding it all up, it’s not nearly as bad as I had imagined. We’re losing about $3,000, which is nothing compared to the total cost of the wedding which is around $65,000. But there’s so much that I can’t put a price on. captionDate-specific overnight gift bags for the couple’s hotel guests.sourceCourtesy photo Our date was meaningful to me. It’s engraved on my champagne flutes which are now useless. My honeymoon couldn’t be salvaged. We were originally going to St. Lucia, but that was booked up in July so we’ve switched to Barbados. It’s fine; it doesn’t matter where we go – but summer flights and vacations are almost double the price of what I was paying to go away in March. That’s an added expense we weren’t counting on. captionDate-specific water bottles that will have to be redone.sourceCourtesy photo I made dozens of overnight bags for the guests who were staying in the hotel; they were filled with personalized water bottles and other dated items which have to be scrapped. Our favors will have to be rewrapped and tagged with our new date, the personalized T-shirts my mom made will now never be worn. Our bridal party gifts were dated and have to be redone. I have everything stored in a spare room, and day by day I realize more and more things that will have to be changed. I’m worried. Because we canceled less than a week before the wedding, all of our vendors were already paid in full. I’m confident the payments will be honored and our wedding will eventually go off without a hitch – but we poured all of our money into this big day that still hasn’t happened, and now there will be more expenses to come. Our new date is only a few months away so we’re in the process of reprinting and resending invitations, but I’m nervous about making that move. Will this be over by then? Will we get close to that date and realize we have to postpone once again? Right... https://www.businessinsider.sg/new-york-bride-postponed-wedding-due-to-coronavirus-2020-5
