Bake Sale- As you know from the past the bake sale is always an important part of this event. For those of you who have participated in the past we implore you to do so again, if you haven’t, now is the time to start, every little bit helps. We have chosen a French theme this year and we are decorating our tent in black and white, let our beautiful bake sale items be the color. Whether it is from your favorite recipe or the bakery the real fun is the packaging. We will be collecting the baked goods on Friday the 17th at the location Sandy Rose Floral or better yet bring it with you on the morning of the 18th. Money raised from the bake sale helps make the day to day running of the SDSA office possible. Please contact: Daryn-Reid Goodall @ darngood@roadrunner.com or call the SDSA office.
