I arrived this morning to find our sign-up sheet for the upcoming Everything Chocolate sale fundraiser for the library looking quite empty. 😔

At this time each year, we typically have a full page, bursting with contributions. It’s the wonderful people in our community who make this sale a success, and we invite you to share your delicious creations to help us make a difference!

Just a reminder: our sale and fundraiser is scheduled for February 13th. You can bring in your items anytime during the day on February 12th. Thank you for your support!
