Part of the mission for WF&FSA's Operations Committee is collecting and exchanging best practice ideas. This month we'd like to collect and share information on your flower coolers. When we've collected everyone's responses we will have Floralife's Steve Daum review the information and make suggestions that can help all of us operate a little better. The more responses we get the better the information will be that we return to you - your help is appreciated.
