A ROSE IS A ROSE AT RAIMONDI’S FLORIST AT WHITE MARLIN MALL - THEY WILL GIVE AWAY FREE ROSES ON SEPTEMBER 6TH

WEST OCEAN CITY, MD. -- Raimondi’s Florist in the White Marlin Mall in West Ocean City is making you an offer that is difficult to refuse.

On Wednesday, September 6, the florist in the White Marlin Mall located 1/4 mile past the bridge on Route 50 at Route 611 is offering you free roses as a part of Raimondi’s Florist Good Neighbor Day.

Not just one rose, but a dozen roses. Raimondi’s Florist at the White Marlin Mall is offering each person who walks in the door on Sept. 6 starting at 9 a.m. a dozen roses while supplies last.

But there is a catch. Raimondi’s is asking those who receive a dozen roses to spread the joy and give one to each of eleven neighbors.

“We are asking each person to keep one rose for themselves and give the others away to eleven different people in the process of getting acquainted or renewing a friendship,” said Ashley Warren, manager of Raimondi’s Florists at White Marlin Mall.

Warren and her staff take great pride in their involvement in the Good Neighbor Day movement and White Marlin Mall’s Good Neighbor Week.

“This is our Good Neighbor Day and we want the whole community to share in the joy of flowers,” said Ashley Warren about the Sept. 6 special event. “Roses are the universal sign of friendship and love.”

The staff at Raimondi’s at White Marlin Mall hopes that every guest will meet eleven new people, or at least renew acquaintances with folks they have not been in touch with for a while.

Owner Paul Raimondi himself is the driving force behind getting the Governor to declare the past five years as Good Neighbor Days.

Governor Parris Glendening is scheduled to declare this Sept. 6 as Good Neighbor Day in Maryland by request of Paul Raimondi who serves as president and CEO of Raimondi’s Florist.

In addition, Good Neighbor Day is a day set aside to further encourage positive growth and happiness for Marylanders.

To complement this campaign, the White Marlin Mall shops and stores will offer specially priced merchandise to celebrate Good Neighbor Day.

There will be special prices for end of season merchandise as well as a collection of Back to School items.

Paul Raimondi initiated the Good Neighbor Day movement in Maryland six years ago and continues to support the Good Neighbor Day effort.

The morning of Good Neighbor Day, the Governor’s proclamation will be read and the bunches of one dozen roses will be given out for the asking.

Last year over 9,000 Marylanders visited one of the eleven Raimondi’s locations throughout the state to pick up their roses.

It is estimated that 100,000 roses will be given away this year on Good Neighbor Day at participating Raimondi’s locations.

While picking up those roses and while getting ready for fall school classes, residents and visitors should be sure to visit the other fine shops and stores in White Marlin Mall.

There is a plethora of merchandise offered for year round residents and vacationers so each visit to White Marlin Mall is a memorable one.

“The shops and stores at White Marlin Mall take great pride is selecting the very best and the most current merchandise, food and services to offer their customers,” said J. Paul Mitchell, the senior vice-president of the Erwin L. Greenberg Commercial Corp. “Local residents and visitors know when they visit White Marlin Mall, they will always find an original array of exciting merchandise.”
