Nearly
400 cases of citrus were sold last year. Customers have the choice
of either Naval Oranges or Red Grapefruit picked, packaged and
delivered from Indian River County, Florida.
Several local charities within the community benefit greatly from
the club’s fundraising efforts. A portion of the funds are used to
support the Family Literacy Project, supplying books to kindergarten
students in the Lincoln school districts.
“Citrus Sales from Lincoln Rotary has become a Lincoln tradition and
we are so very grateful to the community for it’s continued
support,” said Michelle Bauer, the new chair. She is attempting to
fill the tremendously large shoes of Don Jordan. Jordan was the
chair for over 15 years. “Don Jordan worked for years to build
relationships with the customers and was a tremendous example of the
Rotary moto ‘Service Above Self’.” She was happy to give him the
break he so deserved and take his advice moving forward.
