Service Projects:

A booth at the local Farmer's Market is set up every fall to sell homemade baked goods, crafts and garden items made by the members of our club. These very popular items include Cupcakes in a Jar, fruit tarts and assorted pies. A new item was added last September to our booth that was very popular, were garden stepping stones, each hand crafted with cut glass by our members.
A booth was also set up during the Douglas Christmas Craft Fair. Homemade Holiday breads and baked goods produced by our members were sold.
The money raised by these service projects help to maintain and ensure the success of our Advocacy and Scholarship projects throughout the year
