We decided on August 15 th from 5:30-8:30 due to band camp. September, October, November and December will be the 2 nd Tuesday of the Month. Fruit – ShaeAnn’s husband has a friend who owns Marvin’s Produce. He can check on cost of citrus cases, apples and pears to see if they would be a good alternative to Indian River Groves. We discussed the pros and cons of using a local produce supplier versus Indian River. Indian River takes care of all the paperwork, order fulfillment and shipping. We would have to do all of this administrative work ourselves if we went with a local company. We will review the fruit fundraiser information from last year and make a decision at a later meeting date.
