Our community: Kiwanis holiday sale

The Naperville Evening Kiwanis Club, with the help of the Naperville North Key Club, will be selling holiday fruit baskets and gourmet nuts to support local charitable organizations.

Assembly and wrapping of the baskets will take place at Naperville North High School in early December. All orders should be received by Nov. 20.

"These beautiful fruit baskets and cans of nuts make excellent gifts for clients, friends and family," said Kiwanis president Ed Rosenberger. "We can include your business card or other item, and we can deliver. We think you will find our quality products and service are well-priced. And you will help us raise funds to support local organizations."

The project will benefit Family Shelter Services, Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, Easter Seals and other local organizations, in addition to four scholarships for Key Club members.
