Bake-less Bake Sale Greeting Co-Workers! As your Jr. Graduate Regent one of the things I need to complete is a fundraiser and being that we haven't had one of these in a while I thought it would be fun to do a bake-less bake sale! How it works is you just send in your donations to the W.O.T.M. office for whatever amount you choose. (Some ladies send what they normally might spend on baking something) Being that our Lodge still needs a new roof I will be donating the proceeds to this great cause! Simply attach this voucher with your payment on or before February 28th which you can either drop off at the office or send to: Kenosha Chapter Fundraiser, th Avenue, WI Thank you in advance for your help and I hope to see you all very soon!
