External note

Had great appointment; presented cherries, cots and peaches. Said they would definitely run ads this year and include logo on cherries. Also, has interest in running late August ad or for Labor Day. Last year couldn't find shipper to commit. Here's an opportunity. Packaging is his number one concern. He has interest in new and innovative packages. Asked if anyone had flow-through technology in place. He is going to possibly try a new net bag, like you see the grape tomatoes in. They are a little concerned that maybe netting might bruise cherries. They like zip lock bags, but in Texas once bags are zipped closed, they must be sold as fixed weight. I will do follow-ups with Jim on ads and late "Freeze Now" ad. We also discussed Central Markets and they do buy separate on cherries. Person at Central Markets is Joe Landro at 214/252-5940. Will try to contact to see about demos. I probably have to handle by phone and mail/email unless he will see me on short notice. They also have a cooking magazine and school we need to look at for '08.
