Rome Kiwanis Club’s annual peach sale

 

Ordering deadline is Monday, June 15th

Below are the details.  Remember, all monies go to providing scholarships to local students.  This is one of the Kiwanis club’s main fundraisers for the year.  Your help is greatly appreciated – and the peaches are DELICIOUS!

 

Here are the options this year:

bullet

1 Peck -- $9

bullet

1 Peck plus 1 bag peach cobbler mix -- $12

bullet

1 Box of peaches (4 pecks) -- $30

bullet

1 Box peaches plus 2 bags peach cobbler mix -- $36

bullet

1 Bag peach cobbler mix -- $5

 

While we aren't sure exactly how many peaches are in a peck... We know that a peck is 8 quarts.  Keep in mind, you could split a peck or box with another person.

 

These peaches come straight out of the field located in Fort Valley, Georgia with the fuzz still attached. These are the peaches you remember as a child growing up. They are full of juice and flavor.

 

Please contact a Kiwanis member to make your order.  Peaches will be delivered on Saturday, June 20th.  You must either pick up the peaches yourself or arrange with someone else to pick up your peaches for you.   Any orders not picked up will be resold or donated to a food bank.

 

Thank you for your support of Kiwanis and the youth of Rome and Floyd county.
