The highlight of last week was the peach/pear sale.
Hi to all of you wonderful people who came to help on the Peach / Pear Delivery Day - - thank you so very much for all of your help!! It is such an important day for Highland Ranch Rotary to earn funds for our Youth
programs!! Our weather started off mostly perfect except for the continuous breeze playing havoc with our paperwork, not too hot, the annual rain storm hit us again in the last shift, we had floating peaches going down the parking lot as the boxes got soaked and spilled out, we retrieved all –
hooray!!
We have now closed out our 21st Peach/Pear Season and the final figures will be forthcoming soon. An extra big thanks to our
Interact girl volunteers from the Mtn Vista HS Interact Club – they were terrific helpers!!!
Again, thank you all – Jan, Tom and Bill
A huge thanks to our new members who volunteered and a not-even-yet member, Alan Balfour (sorry, Alan, couldn't open your photos)!
