Wednesday, September 5, residents of the Brockport area will have the unique opportunity to meet each other and develop new friendships when Arjuna Florist and Gift Shop hosts the annual FTD Good Neighbor Day event. Beginning at 9 a.m., Arjuna, 78 Main Street in Downtown Brockport, will give away 1,000 flowers in bunches of a dozen, absolutely free to anyone who visits the shop, while supplies last.

There is one catch, however. Don and Lynne Short, the owners of Arjuna, hope the goodwill is exactly that - "catching." Anyone who picks up a dozen free flowers will be asked to sign a promise to keep one of the flowers for themselves and give the others away to 11 different people. "We hope that the people of the Brockport area will be able to get acquainted with new people or will renew an old friendship during FTD Good Neighbor Day," states Don. "We hope to help create a friendlier, more caring and compassionate world, starting right here in the Brockport area."

FTD Good Neighbor Day is being celebrated for the eighth year throughout the United States and Canada at participating FTD floral shops as a day of celebrating goodwill toward all people. Joining the efforts at Arjuna, who have pitched in to help make FTD Good Neighbor Day a truly successful and "neighborly" celebration. It is expected that thousands of FTD Florists in North America will participate in this year's FTD Good Neighbor Day event, giving away millions of free flowers.
