PROCESSING SURVEYS DUE: Don’t forget your planned usage and cheese processing surveys are due to ADE by February 12th. Charlene has sent this information to our members that we assist with USDA commodities. Thank you to our members for returning that information to Charlene as soon as possible.

SPECIAL ORDERS: When you need to place special orders with Shamrock Foods (items that not regularly stocked) they need you to place your requests a minimum of 3 weeks ahead of time. They try their best to schedule delivery of special items but the more lead-time you can give them, the better they can meet your requests.

SHAMROCK SCHOOL FOOD SHOW: Mark the date! Shamrock Foods will be hosting a school food show at the Paradise Valley Doubletree Resort on Wednesday, March 14th. When we have more information, we will be sure to pass it on!

AEC MEETING: We will be having an AEC meeting at 10:00 on Tuesday, February 14th at the Mohave Phoenix Office. All members are welcome to attend. However, space is limited. If you would like to attend this meeting, please let Bette know. Thank you to our members who have expressed an interest in serving on our committee. We will be in touch with you in the near future!

ASPIN CPA ADDENDUM: Some of our members still have not completed the revised CPA Addendum. Bette will be notifying these members. It is very important that all of our members have the same agreement. Thank you to our members that have submitted this documentation already.

2ND QUARTER VOLUME DISCOUNTS: Our members earned $35,487.82 in volume incentive discounts for the 2nd quarter from Shamrock Foods. If you earned a discount, it will be reflected as a credit on a future ASPIN invoice for Shamrock Foods.

AMPHIRE ORDERING SYSTEM: We are now in Phase 2 of offering the AMPHIRE ordering system to our members. The members that are currently using the system really enjoy it. If you would be interested in using this on-line ordering system in the future, please let your ASPIN representative know!

ASPIN INVOICES: Some of our members are paying off the Shamrock invoices, not the ASPIN invoice. Please speak to you’re a/p person to be sure they pay off the ASPIN invoice. Because each ASPIN invoice includes a quick pay discount, your district is OVER paying each invoice if you are not paying off the ASPIN invoice!

RAINBOW PRODUCE PRICES: Pricing for this week is included as an attachment to this update.

SHAMROCK PRODUCE PRICES: Shamrock produce pricing is effective from Thursday to Thursday. Please note the dates on the pricing attached with this update.

PRODUCT INFO: Included as an attachment to this update is some product information from Shamrock Foods.

SHAMROCK MILK PRICING: Milk pricing from Shamrock Dairy for all counties for the month of February is included as an attachment to this update.
