As part of our community service to the residents of Wayne, Troop 101 every year helps the Wayne Rotary club distribute purchased cases of apples, oranges and grapefruit to folks from Wayne and surrounding towns.
While we don't know exactly how many cases were sold, what we can tell you is that one entire tractor trailer was unloaded and distributed throughout the day; normally there are extra cases on the truck available for cash sales to those who either need a case, or were not on the Rotary mailing list. This year, we sold out of available cases, we unfortunately had to turn away a lot of customers!
We had a good turn out with the troop this year, and we had a lot of fun running around and loading people's cars. Keep in mind that each case weighs 35 lbs, and our two smallest Scouts weigh about 70lbs! That's a lot of lifting for some of us!
All in all a great day, though a bit chilly - which is better than the snowstorms, ice storms, arctic temperatures and nor'easters that have hit us in previous years!
Pictures are here.
