FYI

Imagine a business in operation for 100 years.

A big party is planned March 27 at the Everett Historic Theater to celebrate the centennial of City Floral in Everett. Owner Ralph Quaas wants to locate all former employees so they can be invited to the party.

For more information, call 425-259-8171.

You can’t renew your driver’s license Monday. It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day. All driver licensing offices will be closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

As we mentioned last week, folks could take items for the Everett Gospel Mission in Everett to a meeting at the Sisco Heights Community Club in Arlington.

The response was great.

More than two pickup truck loads of coats, blankets, pants and sweaters, and $80 in cash were received. Organizers said the mission was thankful.

A campaign is under way in which folks will be asked to light pink candles at 6 p.m. on Valentine’s Day.

Two Arizona women are sponsoring the drive in hopes of having candles displayed for five minutes in front of homes on Feb. 14.

The group hopes the effort will send a message of peace to the world and love to those serving overseas.
