Citrus Fruit: The December order deadline for ruby red grapefruit, navel oranges, and Christmas tangerines is December 3. Fresh citrus fruit shipped straight from the Florida groves makes a delicious and nutritious gift for your family and friends, and wonderful eating for you too! Please contact Karen McClendon or Dale Cady for additional order forms or if you have any questions.

The Giving Heart: Money flows through our lives just like water – at times plentiful, at times a trickle. I believe that each one of us is, in effect, a glass, in that we can hold only so much; after that, the water goes down the drain. Some of us are larger glasses, some of us smaller, but we all have the capacity to receive plenty more than we need when we allow it. When you make an offering, the glass will be filled again and again and again. -- Suze Orman, The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom
