Wednesday, August 4, 2021 at 8:14PM The Book and Bake Sale was fabulous! I would like to thank the 19 volunteers. You know who you are. What a team. We couldn't have done it without the amazing baking and numerous books and DVDs donated. All the baking was sold.
The total was:
Baking (along with coffee, muffins, and sandwiches) $1203.00
Book and DVDs $882.45
TOTAL
$2085.45
Oh, oh! I forgot to thank all the people who came to the book and bake sale.
You are a generous group. This is a special island for sure.
