Bake Sale
The UB-ALA bake sale will be held on Thursday October 29, 2009
If making treats please label them properly, use good hygiene, and put $ 1.00 worth of servings in each separate bag.
(Bake Sale has already happened; these notes are after the fact).
We are also selling left over books from the Gowanda library weeding trip that ALA had last year.
The money raised at the bake sale from the treats and the books we sold is going towards the Western New York Children’s Psychiatric Center. The money will help buy books for their library.
There is a Clearfield Library book sale from November 14-18. UB-ALA is going to make a field trip there to use the money from the bake sale to buy books for the Western New York Children’s Psychiatric Center. More details to come.
