Project Pick – Persimmons
Nov 10 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Hi Pickers,

There’s been quite a lull in fruit picking requests – not sure why. However, we do have one (fuyu) persimmon tree that needs picking.

Can anyone help with that on Sunday, Nov. 10 between 2 – 4 PM?

If so please fill our our volunteer form here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1sHlMPrx31zNc5-0crH7-hoL0wHRVhkY1pcc_4E1MfhU

I will provide the joining location and other information with your RSVP.

Who knows? We may have more trees on our list by then. 🙂

Thank you

Let me know if you can make it by filling out our our volunteer form here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1sHlMPrx31zNc5-0crH7-hoL0wHRVhkY1pcc_4E1MfhU
