Again this year, SGR is selling sweet, delicious California ORANGES and a commitment from each of our members to buy and/or sell a minimum of three cases to neighbors, friends, co-workers, will make this annual fundraiser successful.
However, there are 3 changes to this fundraising event from previous years:
The per case price has gone from $45 to $52 …. due to California’s extended drought – followed by excessive rainfall - and the nation’s current rate of inflation.
Last year we had two cycles of orange sales (early spring and the 2nd in late spring) selling 233 cases.This year we’re going to take this show on the road for our 2nd sell cycle at the Washington County Fair (April 21-22). We have reserved the district’s iron lung to display along with lots of information about polio eradication through Polio Plus and SGR’s Guatemala stoves project … both recipients of our funds raised!
We will also have applications and information about Rotary for those who might be interested in our causes and in getting involved!
If you have sold in prior years, your list of past buyers is available by request, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE sell ORANGES in support of our Guatemala stoves project, dictionaries, and Polio Plus!
Cost this year is $52 for a full case, $28 for a half case or $15 for a quarter case. The deadline to order is March 15 for the first cycle with ORANGES delivered at the end of the month.
SGR's Membership Chair Ray Absher invites you to generate a list of potential new members. Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker [ok, they don't exist anymore...], the guy who services your car; your neighbor, sister-in-law, best friend from high school, the guy you play golf with, or a co-worker might be on your list.
Past Rotary President Shekar Mehta said the best way to grow Rotary is for "each one to bring one" ... so
who's your ONE?
Same day and time but our location for SGR's meeting on Monday, February 13 has been changed to the downstairs meeting room at Cafe Sabor, 290 E. St. George Blvd. where you will be asked to choose from three entrees (burrito, taco salad or enchiladas)
In the 1950's and 60's more than 350,000 kids were diagnosed every year with polio, but as ofMonday, February 13, 2023, we have now gone 21 weekswithout a single case
You can help us achieve RI's goal of ZEROby joining the Polio Plus Society at just $8.50 per month until polio is - finally and forever - eradicated from the earth, cause this fight isn't over til its over!
