A few messages this week…

Last week we charged your credit cards for July purchases.
Please note that July had five Mondays and Wednesdays, so most of you will have a higher bill than usual.
You are able to view your billing history in our Internet-based order system. It’s easy. Simply click the tab “דוח הזמנות ותשלומים” where the history of your payments and purchases is clearly displayed.
Please make sure the bill is correct, or let us know of any necessary revisions. At the bottom of the bill, the words סה”כ לתשלום:0 (total due: 0) should appear. If there is any number other than zero, this means we were unable to bill your card and would appreciate your contacting us. Our thanks!!

We did not have time to write a newsletter this week. But, we hope you’re enjoying your summer thus far, taking care of yourselves, keeping cool and drinking a lot.
Over the next six weeks or so, we will be taking a break from our lettuce, which are off for their summer vacation. The next round has already been planted, but it will only be ready for harvest in six weeks. We will miss these wonderful greens, and patiently await their return. Lettuce wish them all our best.
