Wendra Trowbridge (inset) carries a box full of poinsettia plants out of St. Peterâs Episcopal Church in Geneva last week. The main photo shows they were part of just shy of 700 others that were picked up by or delivered to those who purchased them (FYI â poinsettias are considered plants, shrubs or small trees). This year more than ever the plants had a larger purpose than usual. The proceeds from their sale go toward the St. Peterâs Community Youth Choir and a trip overseas to perform. In past years poinsettia sales were combined with several other fundraisers to offset the costs of the trip. Expenses average about $2,300 per singer. The problem this year is that due to the coronavirus pandemic, other events to generate money had to be canceled. They included chili sales at the Seneca7 in April, a chicken barbecue in May, a lawn sale and a major concert in June.
