The club voted to purchase 8 extra boxes of apples to donate to seniors and food banks.
4 boxes of Fujis and 4 boxes of Pink Ladies
4 boxes (2 of each kind of apple) will go to Granby (Tish)
4 boxes (2 of each kind of apple) will go to Kremmling (Marcy)
The club approved to reimburse Tish for fuel costs for picking up the pears. (Audrey & Marcy)
Foster will write a thank-you letter to the newspapers (Sky-Hi News and Grand Gazette).
The letter will include our number of boxes sold and a thank-you to buyers.
He will also announce that apples will be delivered near the end of October.
Audrey can send him a copy of last year’s letter as a reference if he wishes.
In August, the club voted by email to spend $20 to book the library room for the peach delivery meeting.
Foster read a thank-you letter to the club from the Silver Spruce seniors.
The club received a donation for the scholarship fund in memory of Ben McClelland.
Foster, would you please send them a thank-you card for their donation? I forgot to ask!
