If you want to participate, please create three dozen goodies and package them as described below.

Caregiver Holiday Treat Hugs Community Service Project: Two dozen treats for community caregivers. To ensure good hygiene and safety, please divide your treats into small baggies before bringing them to the meeting. Use your judgment to decide how many cookies to put in each baggie, considering they are for the caregiver's snack. To help you determine the right amount, consider how many treats you would eat while having a cup of coffee or tea.

SAWC will provide supplies to create festive appreciation bags for the treats during the meeting. Once completed, our SAWC elves will deliver the treats to local caregivers later.

Holiday Dessert Buffet:  One dozen of your favorite holiday goodies on a plate or in a box for the whole club to enjoy after lunch.

Please remember:

• Put your name on the containers you want back  
• You can participate in the dessert buffet without buying the holiday lunch ($20) 
• Email or bring a hard copy of your recipe(s) to the meeting so we can share them on the website.
• Not a baker? No time to bake? Don't want to bake: Store-bought is okay!

* Treats can be anything yummy - cookies, brownies, bars, candy, etc. The Treat Hugs must be shelf-stable, not fragile, and fit into a baggie. Cakes, parfaits, pies, cheesecakes, and cannoli are not good choices for the Treat Hugs.
