You can sign up in the orange books during the 3rd hour of the block or on the table outside the relief society room.

Remember, wet pack starts at 8am and lasts usually until mid afternoon.

Produce Anyone?

Some people in our ward have citrus trees that produce more fruit than their families eat, and others do not have citrus trees at all but would love to eat the fruit. My proposal is that all who have extra fruit put their names, phone numbers, and types of fruit on a list so that those of us who have no fruit trees can contact them and pick fresh delicious fruit (much better than store bought) for free! That way, people are not throwing away fruit that went bad. I think it’s a win-win situation. Following is the list made on Sunday. For those who signed up that wanted fruit, please just contact one of these sisters who has the fruit you want. If you’d like to add your name to the giving list, please “reply to all” with the info or email me at lindsaymilitello@gmail.com. Thank you sisters, I hope this benefits many people!
