Our illustrious President Kathy packs fruit for our customers!

For details of the 28th Annual Rotary Club of Glen Ellyn Citrus Sale 2014-15 see below

For the 28th year, the Glen Ellyn Rotary Club is selling Florida Navel Oranges and Florida Red Grapefruit to fund college scholarships and grants for local charities. Our 2013 sale was so successful that we were able to donate 1480 pounds of fruit, fund 9 scholarships to deserving young adults in need, as well as support 20 charities, which include Bridge Communities, DuPage Pads, Glen Ellyn Children's Resource Center, Salvation Army, Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans and more!

If you are ready for the citrus season and the nostalgic feeling of the winter holiday, then now is the time to order! You can call your favorite Rotary member to order cases or half cases. You can also order on line. On our homepage click the link under the title "SITE PAGES" on the left side of the page.

The fruit is picked and packaged the week of delivery so it is very fresh. A case is about 4/5 bushel (approx 40 lbs.) which we sell as full and half cases. Full cases are $38 and half cases cost $19. This is a great fresh treat during the cold winter season and higher quality than you can buy in the grocery store. It makes a great gift to friends, family, clients employees or charity.

Orders can be picked up at Village Links Golf Course on:

Friday, December 12th 1:00pm-5:00pm and Saturday, December 13th 9:00am - 1:00pm

Please submit your order by Monday, December 1st

Thank you for your support of these great programs and opportunities we provide!
