Great American Bake Sale

Discovery Bakers  

What a great bake sale we had! A huge thank you goes out to all of those wonderful bakers who dropped off baked goods for us and volunteered to help sell the baked goods in our booth on Saturday. We couldn't have had a successful sale without you!

We are very happy to share that the bake sale earned $279.74 all of which will be going to Share Our Strength to help fight childhood hunger!  We plan to do this bake sale again at another time!
