Please help us to meet our 1,000 lbs sales goal

A Brazen Appeal from the Eagle

Saturday, December 1st is the date for our Twenty First Annual Cookie Walk. It will take place from 9:00 AM ’til 1:00 PM at the church. We have a great sale in the making, including wonderful cookies, jams and jellies, peanut brittle, bean soup, greens, table arrangements, wreaths, candied nuts, and so much more.

We need your help to make this event a success. Use your favorite cookie recipe and get baking. We ask for ten pounds of cookies from each parish family to reach our goal of 1,000 pounds of cookies! Last year we had the best selection yet, thanks to the effort of each of you!

Cookies may be dropped off at the church from Tuesday, November 27th, onwards.

Please don’t let changeable weather lull you into inaction. We know it’s easier to get into a baking frame of mind when it’s 40° F outside than when it’s 65° F, but if you don’t get busy in the kitchen you’ll disappoint all those people who are depending on us to bake for their families this Christmas.

We need items for our children’s table and gift table, including ornaments and geegaws suitable to the season. So, please hunt around for that special treasure given to you by Uncle Filbert that you have never used!

Our children’s table offers modestly priced items suitable for the whole family, so the children can buy something for everyone on their list!

We need greens, as many varieties as possible, especially magnolia, boxwood, fraser (and other) fir, hemlock, white pine, blue spruce, nandina, holly, variegated holly, cedars, berried juniper, etc, etc. Also on our list are pine cones (large and small), dried pods and other dried items for our table arrangements, and greens assortments. We can also use small baskets for our arrangements. Greens should be brought to the church on the weekend of November 24th/25th.

Another thing we will be needing very badly is HELP!!! We need folks on Tuesday, November 27th from 2:00 PM to set up the parish hall in readiness for the work days on Wednesday, November 28th, and Thursday, November 29th. These are the day when we need your help to make our table baskets, wreaths, and greens arrangements, meeting here at 10:00 AM ’till late.

We would also appreciate volunteers on Friday, November 30th, and Saturday, December 1st—the big day—to help set up and take down and, of course, we need sales help on the day of the sale.

Last, but very far from least, we need your custom—and that of your friends. Please come to the Cookie Walk and see the wonderful things we have for sale. And please spread the word among your friends. When they experience the Cookie Walk, they’ll thank you for it.

Please call the parish office at 410-560-6776, Donna Szper at 410-252-1499, Stephanie Verhage at 410-667-6730, or Anne Hawkins at 410-308-2771 to volunteer.
