Next Sunday is the big game. Will Team MRFC add to our record of largest one-day fruit tree sales in the country? We'll know in a couple of weeks.
The coaches have laid out our game plan, and the publicity agents have been out there working to bring in an enthusiastic crowd. Now it's up to us.
It's a one-game playoff for all the marbles, and Monday night, May 11, is our team huddle. We'll review the playbook, nail down final assignments, make any last-minute substitutions, and get ready for Sunday's 10:00 a. m. kickoff.
Seriously, folks, our club maintains one of the finest speaker programs anywhere, not to mention our magnificent rare fruit tree collection at Palma Sola park, monthly newsletter, tasting table, website, scholarship program, bus trips, picnics, Christmas dinner, and support of community activities such as Eat Local Week. The club dues are so low that they only cover 30% of the newsletter costs. All the club asks is a bit of volunteer time. Many hands make light work, and with all manner of jobs to do, there is something for everyone.
Besides your participation on sale day, we ask for a little help with the critically important task of publicity. It's been underway for a while, but the final week is the most important. You can pick up tree sale flyers at Monday's meeting, or download a copy of the flyer from the tree sale page at the MRFC website. If each of us can get even a few more flyers into the right hands, it will make quite a difference in our bottom line.
The main event at this month's meeting will be a question-and-answer session with some of our club's outstanding experts. Bring your questions, and don't be shy. If there's something you need to know, chances are that others do, too. Everyone from beginner to expert will find something to learn. What better way to get fired up for the sale?
