Attention OFRE Members!
We want to thank you for being such integral parts to the success of OFRE’s 2017 season in Edmonton. We had a record amount of members join us on a record number of picks rescuing a record amount of fruit!
Please join us for a pizza party on Monday November 20, 2017 at Tony’s Pizza Palace. We will provide the salad and pizza. Beverages will be available for purchase at the restaurant.
OFRE is glad to cover the cost for our current members and welcomes guests at a nominal $10 fee. Tickets are available for purchase through Eventbrite.
Please RSVP by Monday, November 13th so that we can keep Tony’s updated with the amount of space we will require for the evening!
And lastly, please bring your fruit rescue canned creations for a fabulous canning swap within our membership! We have seen some fabulous creations over the past years and look forward to this swap each and every year to the future.
Re: Food Allergies – Tony’s Pizza Palace does not offer GF crust options and cannot guarantee that their salads remain GF due to the nature of the traditional pizza palace flair of tossing dough. If you have a dairy intolerance, we will order pizza without cheese!
