Bartolomeo & Perotto Funeral Home in Greece will be holding a Memorial Day flower planting event in honor of our fallen soldiers on Monday, May 27 at 10 a.m.

The event will be held at Bartolomeo & Perotto’s creek-side, butterfly garden, on Vintage Lane in Greece.

Last year, four statues representing each branch of the military were installed and dedicated at the annual Memorial Day flower planting event. The family of Army Specialist Keith Girardi-Pulley, who passed away in 2011 while stationed in Arizona, donated the statues in his honor.

All are welcome to participate in the tribute to fallen family members, friends, and unknown soldiers by planting a flowering perennial in their memory. The plants and tools will be provided by the funeral home. All those interested in attending are asked to call 720-6000 by Thursday, May 23.

A coalition of Greece churches recently dedicated its fifth Habitat for Humanity home on Eddy St in Rochester.

Over the last 12 years, as many as 12 churches have raised the necessary funds of $65,000 and provided volunteers to build homes for qualified families. This year's endeavor included the help of seven churches, all of which have been involved in many of the previous Habitat projects. They include Aldersgate United Methodist, Bethany Presbyterian, Greece Baptist, Greece United Methodist, Hope Lutheran, Messiah Lutheran and Trinity Episcopal, with help from Holy Cross Roman Catholic. In addition, in their first project, enough funds were also available to fund a home in Hubli, India.
