Elphie Sale
-
Elphie, the Annual White Elephant Sale is scheduled for OCTOBER 6, 7 & 8
-
This is a friendly request/reminder for a donation to the Elphie Bake Sale next week! The bake sale runs the entire time of the Elphie Sale, so we need all of the baked goods we can get!
Drop-off place: Founders Hall by the kitchen
Drop-off time: anytime on Thursday, October 6 and Friday, October 7; no later than 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 8
Popular items: Pretty much everything! Cookies, brownies, fudge, cakes, pies, muffins, quick bread, biscotti, jellies, and jams and more! If you bake it, we will sell it!
Packaging and Labeling: Please label your donation and whether it contains nuts. Clear packaging sells best. Also, if you are able, package a variety of amounts of cookies, brownies, etc. (some for individuals and couples; larger amounts suitable for families). Remember, too, that we price in dollar increments. If you would like, price your donations. That will help if we get a surge of donations all at once.
Thank you! I greatly appreciate your support.
