Arcadia Citrus Program starting Saturday, January 28th
FYI for some of our Arcadia area superintendents…
We will be collecting citrus again starting this Saturday to confound the dreaded roof rats. The focus of the program is to provide homeowners who pick their fruit, a convenient location to donate.
Attached is our flyer for the 2012 collection, this year we are encouraging different groups and local companies to sponsor a fruit collection or “man” the Saturday drop off at the Scottsdale Elks.
Any release to the media would be greatly appreciated.
With kind regard,
Barry
