Daffodil day continues in Cloverdale
In a normal year, Cloverdale’s annual Day of Remembrance leaves Cloverdale high schoolers walking away from their lunch period with a bouquet of 16 daffodils and a tag with the names of the people the daffodils are meant to honor — young people, former Cloverdale High School (CHS) students, who lost their lives to cancer. This year, the annual daffodil day looked different. With CHS students learning at a distance, no students were there to receive the bouquets. Merle Reuser and a devoted group of volunteers adapted, splitting up and walking throughout Cloverdale, handing bunches of daffodils to people downtown and dropping them off on door steps.
