PURCHASE HOLIDAY POINSETTIAS AND SUPPORT MOCA!
MOCA is very fortunate to again be the beneficiary of the North Lights League holiday poinsettia sale. Linder’s Green House in Roseville is the supplier of the plants. Forty percent of the proceeds will be contributed to MOCA. Last year, we received $20,000 from the poinsettia sales.
