Aiden Hawkins, left, and Taeton Chirchir, both eighth graders at Geneseo Middle School, are encouraging area residents to support the 2023 Geneseo Performing Arts Council (GPAC) Fall Fundraiser.

The annual fundraiser begins Monday, Oct. 23, and concludes Wednesday, Nov. 8 and the sale items include fruit, nuts, cheeses and meats. In addition to purchasing items from students involved in the Performing Arts, orders also can be placed online at https://sales.minntexcitrus.com/organization/geneseo-performing-arts-council/. Once at the site, select Geneseo Performing Arts Council and at checkout, there will be a dropdown to select the student’s name to give them credit for the sale. There is a $1.50 processing fee for orders made online.

All sales need to be paid for at the time the order is made and all checks should be made payable to GPAC. Products are scheduled to arrive Dec. 15 and students who sold the items will pick up and deliver the items.

For more information, or for anyone interested in making a purchase, but is not contacted by a student, call Carla Taets, 309-269-3551.

All proceeds are used to help support band, choir, speech and theatre programs, which include assistance for high school, middle school and elementary school students. Funding is used toward activities such as music lesson, solo and ensemble accompanists, marching band, theater supplies, scholarships and other miscellaneous needs. Photo by Claudia Loucks
