Order Your Fiesta Medals!
A minimum order of 25 medals is required. The cost of the medal is $2.50 and you MUST provide your department's account number on the order form. For this reason, it is better if a representative or department head makes the order on behalf of the department.
It is recommended that you make divisional orders or be part of a divisional order if your department number is small.
