The beginning of May is usually a time of various celebrations. For the Garden Club of Long Beach Island, May 1 is set aside for making and delivering teacups of cheer.

Joyce Hillyer, project coordinator, said more than 40 teacups of May flowers were created and delivered to local residents who are confined to home, ill or “could just use a little cheer.” Eighteen club members gathered at the Bay Avenue Community Center to create the arrangements.
