Okay, bakers, it’s nearly that time again. Those serving in the nation’s armed forces look forward to receiving the boxes of goodies from the community.

Cookies and other treats for the military boxes can be brought to the Scotts Community Center on Tuesday, December 2, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.  Music provided by the Jammin crowd. 

The boxes will be packed by you, the volunteers, the next morning, December 3, at 9 a.m.

Help with either making goodies, packing items, or both would be greatly appreciated.
