Oranges for a good cause

2012-02-03T16:50:00.000-08:00

The Herriman High Interact Service Club is selling cases of oranges to fund raise for their humanitarian trip to Mexico this summer. They will be building 3 houses and providing supplies to an elementary school. They have to cover all the costs for building materials. This fundraiser was very successful last year. They have partnered with a grower in CA, who will deliver them to their club within 2 days of being picked. This makes them sweeter than anything you can get in the store, for about the same price or less. It is about the same price as the fruit man who sells door to door.

A full case (72 oranges) will be $35 and a half case (36 oranges) will be $20. Over 50% of all sales goes to the Mexico project. They will be delivered in the middle of March, within a week of being picked. There are about 15 Interact Club Students going from our neighborhood. Anyone who responds to this, we will divide the profits among the students in our neighborhood. Email me your name and number (or comment here) and you'll get a phone call to arrange to pick up your money. Half is due by February 25th. Other half upon delivery. They need orders and money before the 25th. So let your neighbors know and let's support this great cause!

PS: I've heard from many people who did it last year and they loved them....and are ordering for a second time.

Produce Co-op

2012-01-02T20:52:00.000-08:00

This is from Kate Chevalier:

"Hey ladies, if eating healthy or saving on the grocery budget are on your New Year's list of goals, this may interest you. There is a produce co-op here in Herriman that is open to everyone. (It is not affiliated with Bountiful Baskets.) Bethany Zeyer, a friend of mine, has been organizing it for quite some time. I have been getting fruit, veggies, bread and granola through the co-op for a while and have been happy with it.

Here's how it works: a group of families pool their money and can buy direct from the suppliers at a good price. It is $15/box of produce, and the assortment from week to week varies. Last time for example, we got raspberries, pineapple, grapefruit, oranges, apples, bananas, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, green peppers, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, celery. Another week we got pineapple, green peppers, mushrooms, kiwi, limes, avacados, celery, strawberries, grapes, gr. beans, & pears.

Bread and granola are made from local bakeries (Davis County I think.) They are made with natural ingredients and no preservatives. Bread is $1.49-$1.69 per loaf. Bread varieties include: white, wheat, multi-grain, sourdough, raisin/cinnamon, texas toast, cranberry/orange and a couple others. Granola is $4.79 for 2.5 lbs. Granola flavors are: apple/cinnamon, almond, fruit/nut, regular, maple/vanilla and cranberry/orange.

Bethany is not making any money from this, it's just her way of contributing to the community. But the more families who participate, the more variety we can get. If you are interested, contact Bethany: bethanyzeyer@gmail.com

Delivery dates are every other Friday, starting this week, Jan.6th. You can opt in or out from week to week. You take money to her house at the Cove, and she will order for you. If you don't want produce that week, you just don't pay. Pretty simple. No long-term commitment.

The two delivery dates in January are the 6th and 20th. Money is due by Wednesday the 4th for this Friday's delivery, and Wednesday the 18th for the delivery on the 20th. Bethany will email you to remind you each time. "

Looking forward to 2012

2011-12-27T08:42:00.000-08:00

We're getting ready for the new year! We really hope to see more of you get involved...there are so many of you out there that we don't know very well and hope to see you come to some of the activities. For all of you out there...if there is anything in particular that you think would be great for neighborhood activities/classes/gatherings, etc...then PLEASE email me or leave a comment here on this post.

Did everyone love your photo blocks for Christmas gifts?? The cooking club blog has some DELICIOUS recipes posted from their last meeting...go check it out!

A NEW YEAR MEANS NEW GOALS! ;) We all have a list of things that we hope to accomplish in the new year and we hope to help you with those! Trying new recipes, new books, new skills and getting organized with all of those things and more!

We did a poll on the mini-classes blog for what people are most interested in learning about next and it was blogging or turning your blog into a book. PLEASE head to the mini classes blog and help to specify exactly what you need help with so that we can prepare the class to be most helpful!! Tentatively this class will be held THURSDAY January 12th. (More info on the mini-classes blog)A week later will be the book club discussion for Unbroken...check the blog for more details.Also, look forward to our next cooking club meeting. It will be in February and it's possible that the theme might be "healthy eating", but it is still in the works...if you might have something to contribute to this, let us know!
