Hello Warren Band Students and Parents,
Mr. Jenkins was notified this weekend that our fruit order will be delivered next Monday, December 5th. The Citrus delivery/pickup will be that afternoon from 3-6 PM at the Almond band room. If you cannot make this time, please arrange with another band parent to pickup your order, as there is no storage area for these food items. That afternoon we could use a couple parents and some students to help with the distribution of the citrus at Almond. Please reply to this email or contact Mr. Jenkins if you can assist. Mr. Jenkins was also informed about a minor change to our orders due to Hurricane Matthew which hit their area. Here is their important announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important: When the fruit for your fruit sale fundraiser arrives, Mandarins will be substituted for your tangelo orders and will arrive in a box marked “Mandarins.” Due to the effects of Hurricane Matthew, our Tangelos are in short supply. As a result, we have been forced to make a substitution in your fruit sale order. Instead of receiving Tangelos, your customers will receive Mandarins. Tangelos and Mandarins are in the same citrus “class.” The mandarin is part of the hybrid which makes up a Tangelo, which is a cross between a mandarin and a grapefruit. Our mandarins are the closest variety to your supporters’ original purchase. Our Mandarins are a premium variety, which are normally more expensive. However, we will be honoring your Tangelo pricing. In short, your supporters receive a higher quality and more expensive piece of fruit, while you and your group keep the same profit margins. Much like a Tangelo, the Mandarin has a “zipper skin,” which makes it incredibly easy to peel. They are great for school lunches and snacks in the workplace. Each ten pound box will contain (2) five pound bags. Twenty and Forty pound boxes will not contain bags and will contain individual pieces. Thank you. We appreciate you, and we value your business.
