Dear Fellow Table Grape Growers and Industry Friends,

In December 2009 The Snake River Table Grape Growers Association agreed to partner with the Apple Commission, Cherry Commission. Stone Fruit Committee and the Idaho State Horticultural Society to provide financial support to the University of Idaho Parma Orchard and Vineyard operation fund.  In 2009 year we received over $5,000 in donations from our growers and friends of the Table Grapes Industry to help support the Vineyard Operations.  Our goal for 2010 was to provide $5,000 of the $30,000 required funding to continue the agreement made with the Regents of the University of Idaho. 

Our 2011 goal again is $5,000 in support by our Growers and Friends of the Table Grape Industry.  To reach this goal we we are asking that you make a monetary donation in any amount to the Parma Vineyard Operation.  Each of you are the key to the Table Grape Industry’s Success.  Please help to continue this valuable research on Table Grapes here in Idaho.  We still have a struggle with funding due to cut backs in government funding, corporate funding and everyone's personal finances.  But if each of us just does something, a small amount can be a great help. 

We are thankful for all our wonderful Growers, Friends, Corporate and Government supporters of the Grape Industry.  It is essential that we meet this goal, if we do not provide our portion of the funding by the prescribed deadline the table grapes vineyards will be torn down and the research on them will stopped.

Our deadline to collect these pledges is November 30, 2011.  This will give us enough time to present it to the University of Idaho before the New Year starts. 

So Please Make Your 2011 Tax Deductible Pledge Today.

Thank You So Much For Your Support!
