Christmas 2011 Recap
St. Andrew's Annual Cookie Sale
It was held on December 10th, 2011, and it was a great success! We sold out of all cookies at 11:30 AM. For St. Andrew's and the community, it was a great success with lots of fellowship.
Thank you to everyone who helped out with the sale.
A special thank you to Elaine & Shelley for co-chairing, and everyone who stood over a hot oven baking all those cookies!
Your support is greatly appreciated!
