Theresa Nolan was in attendance to present this year's $5,000 scholarship to Jackie Tannucilli, daughter of EPC member Tony Tannucilli of Dole Fresh Fruit. Jackie is a student at Old Bridge High School and will be attending Towson University in the fall. What makes this scholarship unique is that it is based solely on a 500-word essay on ethics. In particular, applicants need to site an example of how they faced an ethical challenge in their life and dealt with it. Anonymous essays are judged by representatives of the Nolan Foundation, not the Eastern Produce Council. Congratulations Jackie! |

2nd Annual Joe DeLorenzo Family Apple Picking filled with Family Fun! Thanks to EPC Members and their families along with the DeLorenzo family who attended the 2nd Annual Joe DeLorenzo Apple Picking Event this past Saturday at Melick's Family Farm in Oldwick, NJ.

The event is named in honor of long standing member and former EPC President, Joe DeLorenzo, who passed away in November of 2014. It is a great way to remember Joe and for EPC families to spend quality time together. Pictured below is Joe's wife Goldie along with the extended DeLorenzo Family.
