VA Diner Peanuts Open Issues?

The second shipment of backordered items arrived on Monday December 1st. At this time, all but 3 people should have their complete orders and I have reported that to the company.
If anyone else has any issues with their orders, it must be reported to me right away.
Thank-you, Colleen Williams

Virginia Diner Peanuts

Our Virginia Diner Peanut order arrived Tuesday, Nov. 25 and was distributed both Tuesday and today to all but 21 families. The remaining families can pick up at Goochland Elementary during school hours or contact me or the school to make other arrangements.

It seems that we will be receiving a second shipment on Monday which will include items missing from many orders. So far it looks like this is the FLORIDA FRUIT SQUARES, MISSISSIPPI MUDDIES BROWNIE MIX and the FIRESIDE MIX. If you did not receive a complete order, you also did not receive your prize. They tell me that the prize only arrives when the complete order is sent.

If after Monday, you are still short or have issues with your order, please feel free to contact me as I will have about 10 days to report any problems to them

A HUGE thank you to the parents who helped me with the sorting and distribution on Tuesday - Correne T, David P, Pam B, Lisa H, Elizabeth D and Mrs. Gordon.


Thank-you,
