Jacqueline Malenda Our bake sale is in 6 days!!!! (Sunday, July 12) and believe it or not, thanks to some very generous donations from some very generous people, we are almost at our $500 goal!!! We are currently at $445 in donations alone and are expecting a few more donations this week before the bake sale by check and our PayPal link on our website. We have several hunded dollars in inventory to be sold at the bake sale, plus a raffle which will bring in some more money, and a donations jar to have on one of our tables. Looks like we will be reaching our goal for sure!
