Wayne Rotary Drive-in Fruit Sale, Dec. 7th

Wayne Rotary has contributed more than $500,000 to local charities through the years, as a result of its annual Fruit Sale; and the organization is now in the process of holding its 2013 event. Oranges, Grapefruits and Apples are being offered to the public.

Approximately 42 pounds of fresh Florida Oranges or Grapefruits are available at $40 per case. About 20 pounds of Empire, Golden Delicious Apples (or mixed Apples) are priced at $35 a case.

Fruit, not already reserved on Wayne Rotary’s online/mail campaign, will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to customers on December 7, 2013. The location will be the large Vander May Colonial Funeral Home Parking Lot, at 567 Ratzer Road, in Wayne. Volunteer Rotarians and Boy Scouts will load the cases of fruit directly into your car.

Anyone having questions about the sale can call Wayne Rotarian Alan Katz at 973-709-0500, Ext. 1501.  Readers who would like to find out about Rotary Service and membership are encouraged to call Wayne Rotary Club President, Tamra Young, at 973-362-0130.

Katz  comments, “This is an excellent opportunity for people to support Wayne and surrounding area charities by buying freshly delivered fruit, taking advantage of our bulk purchasing power, to obtain prices lower than those generally charged.”

Some of the local charities supported by Wayne Rotary’s Fruit Sale have included: The Foundation for the Handicapped, the Gift of Life Program, Wayne First Aid Squad, Wayne Community Policing, Passaic County Historical Society, Kids be Safe, Wayne School System, Clergy Fellowship, local Scouting, local Wayne nursing homes, and the Boys and Girls Club.
