Delivery will be Thursday, December 8 at 1:30 PM.  I need a few volunteers to help with sorting the fruit and filling orders.  If you can help, please contact Mary Mandros.  Each player will get his original order form as well as a listing of people who ordered on line.  Players will be responsible for delivering the on-line orders as well as their cash/check sales.

The fruit needs to be picked up between 2:00 and 3:00 on Thursday.  We will be on the back side of the school at the loading dock.  Please make arrangements to pick up your fruit and deliver it that day.

For those of you that were not able to participate, but still wish to donate to the team, please make a donation by clicking on this link or visiting the Donate page by clicking the “Donate” link above.

Thanks again for your support,
