Calling all desserts! Calling all desserts!
What's that saying? If you want something done, ask a busy
woman? Yes, it's true! I know you all are very busy people and I
appreciate you taking the time to consider a unique way to
support the St. Joe's Auction. Please understand, I do not
assume you are sitting around eating bon-bons, reading cookbooks
and waiting to harvest your organic cocoa plants. (But if you
are, call me! I'll bring a movie!) Far from it! However, the St.
Joe's auction is on Saturday, November 21 and once again, a
dessert auction is one special way to contribute to its
success. Please call/email me if you're interested in providing
a gourmet dessert. Thank you!
