Fall is in the air which means its time for the
Band Fruit Sale! We are looking forward to
another successful band fruit fundraiser.
In addition to the fruit, we will be selling
Gourmet Coffee and Wisconsin Cheese. We
felt the coffee and cheese would be a nice
addition to build a basket of fruit, cheese and
coffee as Thanksgiving gift baskets qand
wonderful practical winter presents. Each
will have a separate order form which is located
below (pdf files). The fruit order forms
will be marked Nov. & Dec. There will be
extra order forms in the band room. We
will be doing 2 different deliveries on the
fruit in November and December but will only do
one delivery on the cheese and coffee. The
fundraiser runs from Oct. 20 - Nov. 16th.
All orders (fruit, coffee and cheese) will be
due Nov. 17th. November fruit pick up will
be on Monday, Nov. 24th 4-7pm. December
fruit pick-up will be Monday, Dec. 15th 4-7pm.
Coffee and cheese pick-up times will be
announced. Remember that 20% of your
student's total sales will be used toward their
fair share. Listed below are some facts
about the fruit which may help answer questions
that people may have. Please call or
e-mail if you have any questions or concerns
regarding this fundraiser.
