Fruit and Nut Sales - 2008

 

The purpose of the Fruit and Nut Fundraiser is for the students to raise money to help cover band camp and band travel expenses.  The profits from each student’s sales go into their own band account and are used toward their own travel expenses or other band expenses.  Profits will be calculated after all sales have been recorded, but are expected to be at or above 35%, for the fruit and nut orders and 15% for the Bachman’s gift cards.

 

November 12  to December 2, 2008 – Sale Dates

 

To keep fundraising expenses to a minimum, all fundraising materials are being made available on the EPHS Band Parent Organization website: 

Download here:   ORDER FORM                   RECAP FORM

 

Please use this website to download and print your fundraising materials.  A limited number of copies will be available from the band directors for those who do not have internet access.

 

All of our fruit and nuts are of the highest quality and are supplied by Bergin Fruit Company of Minneapolis at wholesale prices.   The nut products are all one full pound (much more than most fundraisers) and are packaged in decorative tins, ready for shipping in a handy cardboard mailer. 

 

December 2 – Final Turn-in Date

 

Tuesday, December 2 is the final turn-in-date for orders.  We will not accept orders turned in after this date.  The following items should be returned, in an envelope to the band directors:

 

The completed summary sheet.  The summary sheet should be totaled and contain the total amount of product (by type) sold and the total amount of money collected and enclosed.  All orders must be paid in full when placed.  If the student decides to collect on delivery, they still must pay for the entire amount of the order when the order is turned in.

Checks for the total amount of the order.  CHECKS ONLY, NO CASH CAN BE ACCEPTED.

Do not turn in your order sheets that show whom you sold to; you will need them to distribute the product.

 

BE SURE YOUR FULL NAME IS LEGIBLY WRITTEN ON THE SUMMARY SHEET.  WE CANNOT CREDIT YOUR ACCOUNT OR PLACE YOUR ORDER IF WE DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
