Wayland Town Crier 11/4/09: Flocks of pink flamingos may be landing on your lawn. Residents of Wayland, watch out! Flocks of pink flamingos may be landing on your lawn soon. But don’t worry, these birds are not lost; they have landed in your yard for a good cause and they will not leave a mess.
Wayland High School’s Class of 2011 is holding a fundraiser. Your family, friends and neighbors may be donating money to have you “flocked.”
For a fee ranging from $10 to $30 (depending on the number of flamingos to be placed in the yard), teams of flockers will be descending upon Wayland. Don’t want to be “flocked”? You can instead purchase insurance for $10 so no pink flamingos end up in your yard.
The fundraiser is being used to offset costs for junior class events, and the junior class has decided to donate 10 percent of their proceeds to the American Cancer Society. The pink flamingos seem like a logical bird for breast cancer awareness month!
The flamingos will begin landing this week and will perch for a full day on the victim’s lawn, with an optional note from the purchaser and instructions for their immediate removal if requested.
The flamingos will be returning home around the end of November to escape the cold, so don’t delay if you would like to purchase a flock. The fees are $10 for 10 birds, $20 for 20 birds, or $30 for 50 birds.
Please send your check made payable to Wayland High School Class of 2011, c/o Brett Baker, 197 Glezen Lane, Wayland MA 01778.
Please include your name, phone number and e-mail, as well as the recipient’s name, address, phone number and e-mail (if available). If you have any questions call 508-276-1568.
