LIBRARY CONTRIBUTION — Members of the H.K. Atchison Society, along with Cary Library staff, sit with Orville Boutilier at the library entrance in front of the flowerboxes, which Boutilier filled. From left to right are: Orville Boutilier, Joann Inman, Susan Riley, Assistant Librarian Gail Suitter and Librarian Linda Faucher.
Each year the Cary Library and Helen K. Atchison Flowerbox and Garden Society look for donations from local florists to fill their flowerboxes at the front entrance of the library. This year, however, Boutilier decided to give a gift to the H.K. Atchison Society by providing labor and geraniums to fill all six flowerboxes.
“The flowers are beautiful. They look gorgeous, and it was such a nice thing for him to do,” emphasized Cary Librarian Linda Faucher.
Amazingly, Boutilier has made the very same contribution to the Cary Library in the past. Thirty years ago, when Helen Atchison was the librarian, Boutilier filled the flowerboxes for her and the library. Now, the garden society that dawns the name of the very same librarian Boutilier donated to all those years ago is very grateful that he has once again made this generous contribution.
