Description
Each semester we have two bake sales on campus adjacent to our School of Communication office. At monthly meetings prior to the event, we pass out a sign-up sheet for members to bring various items and to volunteer to work shifts during the sale. We have items such as brownies, rice crispies, cookies, fruit and our most popular: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The sale goes from 10:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. and after the sale is over we leave the leftover items in the teacher's lounge for our professors to buy. We hosted a 'Mardi Gras' Bake Sale on Tuesday, February 16, which happened to be Fat Tuesday. This event was a great success and we had great help from our members.
