So, if youâre driving down Main Street in Center Moriches and you were wondering who places and takes care of those beautiful ï¬owers and plants, then you need to say thank you to the members and volunteers of the Moriches Chamberâs Beautiï¬cation Committee. The group is made up of local business leaders, families and students, all of whom are volunteers. Some of the volunteers include: Laura, Paul, Gianna Racioppi, Loriann, Riley Patanjo, Jeannine, Billy Barr, Alex, Julian, Olivia, Ben Dench, Annette, Rudy Rank, Laura Lewis, Tom, Colleen Hogan. One group who puts in hundreds of hours each year planting, maintaining and watering the ï¬owers and plants. Thanks to grants and some very generous business
owners, the committee has been able to provide all of the materials for free. However, funding is starting to dry up and the committee is looking for help from local families and businesses. âIf every familiy who lives in Center Moriches joined our eï¬orts or donated $10.00, we would have more than enough funding to keep things going and even look to expand our eï¬orts,â said Mark Danowski, owner of Allstate Insurance and the Chairman of the Beautiï¬cation Committee.
