Donate Yourself
Could you contribute your time or talent?

Many fancy desserts will be needed for the dessert auction. Start perusing your cookbook for a favorite fancy dessert that you can make to donate.

Volunteers Needed
If you are interested in helping in this year’s auction we would love to have you. There are all kinds of opportunities to participate.
