Daffodil Jazz Brunch

 

Each year community members come together to join Tom Morgan and Erna McReynolds amidst 100,000 daffodils at their lovely country home in Franklin, NY for our Daffodil Jazz Brunch.

The event features The Rob Hunt Trio providing exceptional jazz and a sumptuous brunch menu catered by Dee Smith Hazlett.

All proceeds benefit the families and children cared for by Helios Care.

 

We thank all of our generous sponsors, attendees and volunteers who make our events possible throughout the year.

 

Please make plans to join us this year for our 2023 Daffodil Jazz Brunch!

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

- William Wordsworth
