Press Release Body:
This Wednesday, December 19th at 3:30 PM at the Harlem Link Charter School, located
at 134 West 122nd Street in the heart of Harlem, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM will present a
workshop for seniors and children to learn how to connect generations through the
use of the internet. The workshop will be held at the school and will include
demonstrations on websites such as google, hotmail, and eons.com, a social
networking site exclusively for the 50+ crowd. 1-800-FLOWERS.COM will donate a
laptop computer to the school as well, who will in turn be raffling it off to a
member of the community that evening at 6:00 PM at their Winter Festival, through
their Community Outreach Group.

The workshop is part of a larger test program designed to teach two generations how
easy it is to connect with their loved ones when they are equipped with an
understanding of how the internet works. The program kicked off on December 2nd at
Little Neck\'s Samuel Field Y as over one thousand people witnessed the unveiling of
a giant floral menorah displayed in the lobby throughout Hannukah. On Wednesday,
coupons for Kwanzaa related gifts and floral arrangements will be given out during
the celebration courtesy of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM. A giant multicultural holiday floral
arrangement will also be on display at the Harlem Link Charter School beginning on
the 19th.

Older and younger people tend not understand each other because of their
different experiences, opinions, habits and behavior. The internet is a
great way for people to connect and get to know each other, and connect
families of all generations. 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is eager to contribute to
this mission as their \"Reconnections\" program and brand message is to
help all people connect with the important people in their lives.

Steven Evangelista, Co-Director for Operations at the Harlem Link Charter School
said \"I believe in the power of this program to help foster learning and
understanding between generations and I\'m very excited that 1-800-FLOWERS.COM has
made this commitment to us.\"

Steven Jarmon, Vice President of Communications for 1-800-FLOWERS.COM said, \"I am
extremely proud that 1800Flowers can help bridge the generation gap through the
power of the internet.\"

The Harlem Link Charter School, a K-4 public school, links academics, values and
community to graduate articulate scholars who meet or exceed New York State
Performance Standards and active citizens who learn and serve in their communities.
Families, staff and community join together to provide a safe, supportive learning
environment that empowers students to take an active role in learning and
demonstrate good character.

The program was created by theKbuzz, a marketing firm based in Queens who previously
worked with
1-800-FLOWERS.COM for the \"Our Field of Dreams\" sponsored ballpark wedding held last
July at Brooklyn\'s KeySpan Park.
