JDA Service Week!

On Wednesday, November 11th after Chapel, JDA will be hosting a BAKE SALE on campus in an effort to raise funds to make blankets for the LLUMC Children's Hospital as our Christmas gift to them:

Every year, the women of JDA gather together to make simple tie blankets with warm fleece to give to the children's hospital. Last year when we hosted a bake sale prior to buying the blanket material, we were able to more than double the number of blankets we have gifted the hospital in the past.This year we are hoping to set a new record.

All JDA members who would like to participate, bake any item (cupcakes, cookies, rice krispie treats, etc.) of your choice and individually wrap each item. Then you can either bring your item to the bake sale and help out at the tables to sell the items if you can stay, or if you aren't able to come, just drop your baked goods off at any JDA officer's house prior to the event. Kids are more than welcome at the bake sale!There will be tables set up at each entrance to the chapel, and the bake sale begins when Chapel ends (around noon). Each item is sold for $1, so if your baked good is small, put a couple items in one wrapper.

The very next day, we will have the actual Blanket-making event:

On the evening of November 12th we will meet at Katie Ellis's home to tie the blankets, play some get-to-know-you games, and have a cookie swap (optional). Bring some scissors and a plate of cookies along with a few copies of the recipe. We will all go home with some cookies and new recipes just in time for the holidays!

If you have not received an Evite to these 2 events, please email lomalindajda@gmail.com and we will send you the Evite with the specifics for each event.

Hope to see you all there!
