Are you curious about how this holiday started??(well, it is "non-official" holiday but......)Here's the history for you.....Harry F Klemfuss, a New York publicist along with the National Secretary association in the year 1952 created the National Secretary's week so as to appreciate the work of secretaries and encourage more people into the profession. The National secretary week was held on the first week of June from June1 to 7 and June 4th was celebrated as the secretary day. Three years later in 1955, the observance of the week was moved to the last full week of April and the Wednesday in the week was decided as the secretary day. The name of the week has been changed twice; in 1981 it came to be called the Professional Secretary Week and in the year 2000 it got named the Administrative Professional Week as it is called up to the day. The change in name was to encompass the expanding responsibility and titles associated with the role of professional support staff.

Happy Administrative Professional Week, everyone!!

Tulip Special

Just to brighten

your weekend......

Why don't you

Stop at L&L for

a Tulip Special?

10 stems of colorful Tulips dressed up

with Lemon Leaves (Salal) and

Bear Grass

L&L Special $9.99 (+GST&PST)

Did you know.....?

Many professional florists, including

us, would suggest using cold straight

water for Bulb plants/flowers such as

Tulips. Perhaps the sugar contained

preservatives encourage bacterial

growth, the key to success (making

them last longer) is;

1) Using clean vases

2) Keeping water clean (refill)

3) Placing it in the coolest room in your

house.

A vase of fresh tulips is both

elegant and colorful, but cut tulips are

noted for having minds of their own.

No tulip arrangement will remain

the same day after day.

Allow for these changes and enjoy

the varied display before you.

Tulips continue to grow in water

after they have been cut, lengthening

at least one inch and possibly up to

six inches!!

Tulips are heliotropic and twist to

follow the sun during the day.

The tulip flowers open and close with

the rising and setting of the sun.

Their heavy blooms also feel the pull

of gravity and tend to droop down.
