Calling all Members!
One of our major events is fast approaching – the Fall Fruit Show.
This is your chance to meet with other club members and the public who share an interest in fruit.
We look for members to provide varieties of fruit they grow – in an effort to showcase what can be grown in our local area. It also gives you the chance to taste varieties of fruit otherwise not available from a grocery store. Some you may have heard of, but not tried – others could be completely new to you.
This event is open to the public- so that those with an interest in choosing, growing, harvesting and preserving fruit have an opportunity to meet the club members which serves as a way for those with an interest find out what our group has to offer them.
Our “society” is diverse – from longtime members who have a wealth of knowledge to newer members, all looking to connect with others who share an interest in fruit.
To help make this the best Fall Fruit Show ever, we need to hear from YOU regarding volunteer opportunities.
