Beech Tree News fan Velma West left Five Seasons on Monday with a floral arrangement for Memorial Day at no cost to herself. West had been looking for an arrangement to place on her parents monument on the upcoming day of remembrance. So, the choice for her was easy when she was announced as the BtN Fan of the Month; West chose to spend her $50 at Five Seasons.

"I'm very glad that I was chosen as the Fan of the Month," said West. "Thank you Beech Tree," she added.

Moore added that Five Seasons was very glad that they could participate in the give-away.
