The sales part of the annual Rotary Citrus Campaign has been completed. As you already know from my email, we are securing our oranges from another state this year because the orange crop from the Florida Grove we usually procure from was severely damaged by draught conditions. Humphrey's market worked with us to find an alternate source.
The sales part of the Citrus Campaign lasted for six weeks and concluded on Monday, November 13. If you didn't make that deadline, give me a call.
After the completion of sales, the order was placed with Humphrey’s Market. This is a joint effort with the other four Springfield clubs. The increased volume results in a lower cost for the citrus. The citrus groves process our orders, pick the citrus, and immediately ship it to us.

Once the orders arrive, then work in the warehouse begins. We will need volunteers to make the mixed boxes of fruit and to help load citrus into the cars of customers on our delivery days.
