Bake sale's comin'

Our annual bake sale is a big effort for all the members of the Franciscan group I belong to. We bake everything "from scratch"--lots of yummy stuff. Much of it has an Easter theme because it's just one week before Easter. Y'all come, if you're in the vicinity.

Where? We'll be in the hall next to the church--Our Lady of the Assumption--at Bonita and Berkeley in Claremont, CA.

When? Sunday, March 20  from 8 AM until 2 PM. Come early for the best selection.

And we'll have more than baked goods. Crafty members are working on their specialties--knitting, ceramics, jewelry, sewing and more. My thing is dolls. I've made some Peggy People,


and some more of the fat little teddy bears,



and one of my clowns--Claudette--is going to be raffled.





What happens to the money we make? It's our only fundraiser for the year. Thirty percent of the money we take in is given to charities. Most are local, but some are connected with Franciscan efforts elsewhere, like the clean water project in Africa. We also provide help if one of our members is in need.
     Hope to see you there.
