Our Baking Spirits Bright Cookie Exchange is a fundraiser in support of VOICES, Inc., the only organization fighting for the rights of people in nursing home care. This is how it works:
Each guest will bake and bring 6 dozen cookies to the event. You must bring 6 dozen of the same type of cookie.
Check-in when you arrive. We will show you where and how to display your cookies. (You don't need to bring anything special for your display.) Once you find your spot, you will:
Write your name, plus the name/brief description of your cookies. We will provide the table sign and markers.
Cut or break one dozen of your cookies into pieces and place them in the provided bowl. These will be the samples for Tasting Hour (2:00-3:00). During Tasting Hour, you may sample as many cookies as you like!
We will have free milk from Prairie Farms (of course!), coffee and water to enjoy as you sample the cookies.
After the Tasting Hour, we will begin the cookie exchange! Each guest will get to choose four dozen of their favorite cookies. We will provide the box.
Once you have chosen your cookies, you can skedaddle or stick around to take pictures, nibble on appetizers, and mingle with friends. There might be extra cookies for you to take home too!
A few rules: (1) Your cookies must be homemade. (2) Each guest needs their own 6 dozen cookies and an event ticket. (3) No children please. (4) We kindly ask that you do not take more than two of the same cookie. (5) You are encouraged to wear festive holiday clothes!
