Time to order Vidalia Onions!

Down in Vidalia, Georgia, the Vidalia onions are ripening. They are big, sweet, and juicy, and are just waiting for you to order a bag. A 25-pound bag of these beauties costs $30 and will arrive at the Palermo Community Center around Mothers Day. To order, please call Connie Bellet at 993-2294 or email pwhitehawk@fairpoint.net and leave your name, phone or text number and the number of bags you want. Save money and order four bags for $115! Connie will get back to you to confirm, and as soon as we learn the exact date of arrival, we will let you know.

The proceeds from this sale will be used for much-needed maintenance of the Community Center, at 26 Veterans Way. New nut trees and thornless blackberries are going in the front yard, and the seedlings for the Community Garden are coming up. If you are interested in volunteering, there is a lot of planting to be done. We are also building a new lighted sign with reflective letters! That will be going up in early summer. The parking areas are also being expanded to accommodate the nearly 250 people who use the Food Pantry every Tuesday, from 11 a.m. to noon. All are welcome!

Thank you very much for your support. To donate or to pay for your onions when you order, please send your check to LCF (Living Communities Foundation), P.O. Box 151, Palermo, ME 04354. We appreciate all that you do to help our community.
