Clean water is a basic human right which many around the globe are denied. There are 2.5 billion people around the world who lack access to improved sanitation and 748 million people without access to clean drinking water. Nearly 1400 children die each day from diseases caused by lack of sanitation and unsafe water. When people have access to clean water, they live healthier and more productive lives.
March is Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Month and is one of Rotary International's 7 areas of focus. Help Rotary help them!
Our grower in central California tells us he will be delivering oranges to St. George several times during the month of March, so if you didn't get your order ... or you got your order, but you've now sold them, given them to family, friends and neighbors ... or just eaten these sweet, delicious, thick-skinned, easy-to-peel, fresh-from-the-tree California navel oranges yourself, please know we will be getting another order in the next couple of weeks.
Cost is still $58 for a full case, $34 for a half case or $18 for a quarter case.
So order today and pay with cash, check or Venmo when you pick up your oranges. Questions? Contact Linda Sappington.

If you aren't already giving to the PolioPlus Society - at an affordable price of $8.50 a month or $100 annually - see Foundation Chairs Bryan or Dale.
