How does it work?
Prior to each delivery, the sale with be publicized in a number of ways:

• With posters and order forms located in the band hallway
• Via the band Yahoo group. If you’re not already registered, please sign up by going to http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Oakton_Band_Information/, as this is an invaluable source of information for band families.
• Here on the website.

Students obtain as many orders as they can and drop the order form in the band room. Orders can also be placed through the website or emailed to the citrus coordinator. Citrus is not hard to sell, and every little bit helps! Often a mention to friends and colleagues stirs up interest. The fruit is delivered to Oakton High School usually on Saturday. Payment can be made thru PayPal or at time of pickup.

How does this benefit the students?
In addition to helping fund our outstanding band program, citrus sales provide credits to the students to help with band expenses. Students receive 2.5 credits for each large box (4/5 bushel) sold, and 2 credits for each smaller box. (One credit = $1 off your band expenses.) Once all payments have been received, credits will be posted to the student accounts.

How can I help?

By selling fruit! Some schools have one or two very large sales which puts more pressure on everyone to sell alot of fruit. At Oakton High School we conduct more frequent, smaller sales, but we still have to sell a minimum amount each time to place an order with the distributor. Also, each delivery requires many volunteers whether it's a small or large order. Help make it worth the effort - every order helps!
By volunteering on delivery day. On those days we will be in need of parent and student volunteers to unload the truck, organize boxes and help customers. The deliveries are scheduled for Saturday mornings.
