Cupcakes for Coats

Wow, we've now topped 60 dozen cupcakes with donations nearing $1,500 for our Cupcakes for Coats project. Please get additional orders to Ryan ASAP as he has taken on the job of cupcake order organizer. Leanne is now checking on supplies for this project: cupcake liners, cake mixes, boxes, etc., but we will need to borrow your cupcake pans for the day of the Great Bake, which is Saturday, Oct. 29 at 10:00 a.m. at Three Tiers.

On that day, we will stop for lunch around noon and eat Mexican food that was purchased and frozen from a fundraiser at the Catholic Church. Please feel free to pitch in by bringing a dessert or a side dish. Plates, cups, napkins, etc. will be provided. We will then work into the afternoon, probably in two groups: bakers and sorters.

Deliveries and pick-ups will take place on Sunday, Oct. 30 following morning worship at the Satanta United Methodist Church. For ease and convenience, sandwiches will be served for lunch that day.

Then it will be time to purchase coats. Bi-lingual forms were distributed at parent-teacher conferences, and we are anticipating the purchase of as many as 50 coats. In the event that our revenue tops our need, we will discuss alternatives for purchasing coats with the remaining total. We could, perhaps, expand into Sublette, or we could also use some of our funds to help the kids at Youthville purchase coats or other cold-weather apparel.

One thing is for sure, there will be many children this winter who know the joy of a warm coat and, hopefully, a warm heart.
