In January of this year, we started sending one of our colorful, fresh flower arrangements each week to a person in town who has gone beyond expectations in serving the community. We call them “Hooray Bouquets.”
So far we have delivered 11 of the Hooray Bouquets, originally called Good Job Bouquets, and will continue to award one each week for the rest of the year. We have no doubt that we can find at least 52 people who deserve recognition

| Our 2nd winner of the "Good Job" Bouquet! Beverly Leach was nominated for all she does to help out others. She takes people to doctors appointments, cooks for those who need a little assistance and is always there to lend a helping hand. |
We base our decision each week on nominations we receive from people and businesses throughout Carlinville. We invite anyone to submit a nomination at any time. The nominees themselves also come from all over town. A Hooray Bouquet recipient can be your mail carrier, a store clerk, a co-worker, a Good Samaritan, a volunteer, or even a group of people. We recently presented one to the Carlinville Library staff, which is good example of a group.
Earning the Bouquet up to this point are Laurie Johnson, Beverly Leach, Cindy Thurston, Sue Vieceli, Beth Hammann, Dan Pressler, Karen Gininatti, Lisa Kleeman, Rich & Judy Minster, Theresa Gwillim, and Dr. Elizabeth Obrien.
