Great News…and an Announcement!
As you can see from the image above, our Homemade for Haiti bakesale was a big, big success! We raised $1,140 on the actual day of the sale, and our friends from the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild kicked in some additional funds during their Monday night meeting, bringing us up to $1,220 for Doctors Without Borders. It was an amazing feeling being able to donate this money today and we are so grateful to everyone who helped lend a hand. If you’d like to take a peek at the sweet treats and fun time we all had, check out the Home Ec. Silverlake Flickr pool.
The bakesale was such a wonderful time. Seeing our community come together like this was truly inspiring, and something I’d like to see a lot more of. So I’m happy to announce that Home Ec. will be hosting bakesales on a monthly basis, to benefit a new charity every time. Our next bakesale will happen on Saturday, February 27 from 12-7pm and will benefit the Los Angeles non-profit animal rescue organization The Mutt Scouts.
Nikki and her fellow Mutt Scouts have helped save countless shelter animals who are on their last legs and in serious danger of being euthanized. Check out their blog to see the good works they do…especially if you are interested in adopting a special animal of your own!
I’m spreading the word about the Mutt Scouts and the 27th! Count me in for my chocolate Akita cookies with frosted curly “tails”. xo
I love, love, LOVE it! Hooray, how lucky I am to have such a smart gal for a friend
And an official kudos for your fundraising efforts for Haiti. OUT-STANDING! Love, ME
you know I’ll help out with some baking goodies
yay!!! I love MUTTS!
All those animals have such potential to be someone’s family member. I want very much to adopt a dog but feel at this time it would be an irresponsible move…which makes the Mutt Scouts blog even more difficult to read!
I have 3 mutts of my own. I can’t take on another, but I’d be happy to provide some brownies, cupcakes and maybe cookies! Will there be bags or boxes for people when they purchase stuff, or should we provide?
