Annual Florida Citrus Fruit Sale
October 9 – November 2
Delivery: December 4, 2012
Have you ever wondered how you can help the band boosters support the band program andearn money towards your student's spring band trip?
It's easy! Each year our band sells delicious fresh Florida navel oranges and red grapefruit in October for delivery in December. The fruit is picked and shipped within 48 hours of delivery to our school, and is the best that Florida has to offer.
During the sale, encourage your student to ask everyonethey know – family, friends, neighbors, teachers, former band families, mail carriers, etc. – if they would like to buy fruit. You can even ask your coworkers. You'll be surprised how many people really look forward to our fruit sale each year. Some will buy it to help the band, others will buy it because they like your kid, and many will buy it just because they really enjoy the fruit!
Students will earn money in the form of credits to their spring trip accounts for each box of fruit you and they sell. The more they sell, the less the trip will cost. Some students have sold enough boxes to cover the final few payments of their trips.
Band students will be selling both single variety and mixed 10 lb. boxes of fruit this year.
Boxes of 16-18 Navel Oranges -- $18.00
Boxes of 8-10 Red Grapefruit -- $18.00
Mixed boxes of 6-8 Oranges and 5 Grapefruit -- $20.00
Please show your support for our program by buying a box of fruit for yourself, or for a family member, friend or coworker. After all, everyone loves fresh fruit from Florida! Your generosity allows our members to enjoy a world of opportunities that otherwise would not be available to them.

In order for your child to get credit for their online orders, you'll need to know their band and seller id code. Your child can get this information from Mr. Burke or you may email me your child's name. My email address appears at the end of this email.
After placing an online order, you will receive a receipt for your purchase via email. You will also be contacted via email regarding delivery and/or pickup options. The fruit is scheduled to arrive at the school on or before December 4th. Please retain a copy of your receipt for your records.
I have been selling fruit since my son who is now in his second year of college was in middle school. Over the years I've developed some tools to help me and my husband sell fruit to our coworkers. I call it the customizable form (customizable fruit info.doc) and have attached it to this email for your convenience. I have also attached a copy of the one I modified for my own use (lichtman customizable fruit info.doc) Simply change the information to that of your student and either circulate or place the form in a common area in your office. I also prefer to enter customer's orders directly into an excel spreadsheet. I've attached that as well (fruit sales.xls)
I also have made an email template (fruit email template.doc) that you can modify then send to inform friends and family.
If you know any parents of band students who are not boosters, please forward them this email. We're trying to reach as many parents as possible.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
