HOLIDAY BAKE SALE WRAPS UP
After baking on four Saturdays throughout the fall, the last of the rolls and breads for the Holiday Bake were wrapped on November 11th. With the direction of co-chairs, Tish Brush and Caryl Strauss, the team of volunteers made a grand total of 657 delicious nut, poppy and apricot rolls and 60 breads. Customers (outside of our church family) ordered 500 rolls and 43 breads. Our thanks to everyone who helped on Saturday bake days, donated lunches for the crews, purchased supplies, helped weigh and package the kolbassi, or distributed the orders to customers and parishioners. Their names have been listed in the Bulletin after each bake day. It took a tremendous effort and cooperation among parishioners to achieve this successful fund-raiser for the church's operating budget.
Fall Holiday Bake
Individuals are needed today to assist with the pick-up of orders. Please see Rose Plowchin or Tish Brush. Thank you
