Christmas Cookies for Children's Village

Every year at Christmastime, St. James bakers deliver home-baked cookies for 40+ boys at Children's Village in Dobbs Ferry.  The boys are so appreciative of these tasty (and sometimes decorated) treats.  Please bring your cookies to St. James on Sunday, December 14th at 10am.  No fancy packaging necessary as we will be putting together a mixed box for each boy.

IMPORTANT:  NO NUTS!  And no almond extract either.

Please contact Margy Loftus at margyloftus@yahoo.com with any questions.  Please sign up below and indicate what you are likely to bake -- keeping in mind that we want to offer a nice variety.  Thank you!
