Lynnfield's Destination Imagination Teams

The following is an
announcement from Lynnfield's Destination Imagination Teams:



Flocks of bright pink
flamingos have recently been spotted at various homes in Lynnfield.  These
exotic plastic lawn ornaments have been showing up overnight only to disappear
and display themselves elsewhere in town the next day.  Apparently they
arrive at the request of friends of the family living at the homes in question.



Flamingo Flocking is a
current fundraiser being held by Lynnfield’s Destination Imagination
teams.  Destination Imagination (DI) is a non-profit organization that
fosters creative problem solving and teamwork.  Every year, there are
250,000 students across the U.S. and in more than 40 countries that
participate.  This year five Lynnfield teams advanced from local and state
tournaments earning the right to represent Massachusetts at the Global Finals
in Knoxville, Tennessee.  The Lynnfield DI community is working hard to
raise approximately $38,400 needed to send all five teams to Knoxville.

Residents are
encouraged to “flock” their Lynnfield friends and neighbors for a $20 donation
to Lynnfield DI.  Upon receipt of the order form and donation, DI team
members (accompanied by an adult chaperone) will secretly place a flock of
flamingos on the family’s front yard.  The birds will “roost” in the yard
for no more than 24 hours.



Contact Judy Campbell

If you are looking for
a memorable way to celebrate and help our local DI teams, look no further than
the fleeting pink flamingos.  These adorable lawn ornaments are great for
all occasions.  So, don’t just send a card, flock a yard!!!
